Minolta 8x40 Extra Wide Binocular

Genuine Japanese-made Bak-4 and full multicoating makes this excellent condition vintage bin from Minolta a Best Buy. I cleaned the interior of haze producing film and lubed the focuser. A job you could easily spend $100+ on by others! Shouldn't need servicing for at least another decade or two. Views are now crisp, clear, and typically Porro 3D. Porro was the Italian scientist who invented this classic style of binocular that yields greater depth of field than more modern Roof Prism bins (Roofers). Comes with its case missing its carry strap, easily replaced with a boot lace. And all four lens caps. Bin has a strong vinyl carry strap. You could buy a disposable Chinese made optic that may last a few years. Or invest in one made to last your lifetime and beyond.
