The Minox MD 50 W 50mm Spotting Scope Kit is a travel-friendly, compact, yet high quality spotting scope. Minox employs a certain set of company values - compact design, quality and precision mechanics are consistently applied in every product.
The MD50 W is particularly ideal for the bird watcher who prefers a spotting scope that is compact enough to carry along in luggage or a backpack when travelling. In this case, this spotting scope can, under certain conditions, be an excellent supplement to binoculars, in particular if a stronger magnification than available binoculars is required. With the 16x magnification of the variable eyepiece the compact MD 50 W can at times be hand-held, although for optimum use a tripod is always recommended.
A sturdy yet lightweight body protects the precision mechanics and optics against damage in normal use. Rubber armoring ensures a good grip, and provides added protection as it is also dustproof and waterproof to a depth of 16'/5 m.
- The angled design of the scope provides a more relaxed stance during viewing, and with a swivel tripod connection the telescope can be pivoted when on a tripod.
- Minox multi-layer M* coating results in high light transmission as well as brilliance, high contrast, and natural color rendition.
- Close-focus capability of 16.4'/5m.
- Nitrogen filling prevents misting up of the optical system on the inside, even under extreme temperature fluctuations.

Comments about Minox MD 50 W 2"/50mm Spotting Scope:
I bought this scope to replace my old 20-60x60 spotting scope kept in my Archery case, the old scope took up too much room. The Minox 50 is so small and light, it fits perfect. I was suprised at the clarity of image, much better than what i am used to, its the perfect archery scope for me.

Comments about Minox MD 50 W 2"/50mm Spotting Scope:
Whilst I haven't had this product for long, it would seem that it is going to be an excellent purchase. The disadvantage of having a fixed position for the eye piece is outweighed by the advantage of the small size of the scope. When used with a tripod with a swivel top this disadvantage is overcome.

Comments about Minox MD 50 W 2"/50mm Spotting Scope:
Have only been hunting once since buying this spotting scope.Saw what I thought was a small mob of pigs about 6-7oo yards away.My 9x rifle scope made them out to be black dots still thinking they were pigs I got the spotting scope out and soon saw that it was a small group of Turkeys.Saved a lot of walking and stalking.The scope is small enough to carry in my day pack and no need for a tri-pod as a tree or fence post will do to steady against.Good optics the turkeys were displayed in all their colours and easy to make out. A good tool to have.

Comments about Minox MD 50 W 2"/50mm Spotting Scope:
Bought the MD-50 as an alternative to taking a full sized spotting scope for hunting. It takes up a lot less room in the pack, but the best feature is the weight savings. It is also very sharp for it's small size. Overall a great product.
