That price seems to have gone up quite a bit within the past year. At least looking at the EO website:

I fully agree with this sentiment! I would buy one in a minute!
Minox has 7x28 IF binoculars and others are made for the military.

16mm oculars should do the trick.

Bob,
I have seen the Minox 7x28. But I am very doubtful about the design. The narrow bridge between the barrels and the length of the tubes towards the objectives should make this binocular(because of the leverage) very sensitive for shock and force and easy put it out of collimation.

I agree with that Patrick.
I'm not interested in a IF binocular. I have the Pentax 9x28 and it is plenty tough enough. My son used it when he was an exchange student in Chile. He backpacked into Machu Picchu with it and around parts of Bolivia and North Chile and beat it up pretty good and it is still working well.
Bob
And I agree with that. Yes, a binocular for long distance use and astronomy I can accept IF, but not for a binocular intended for allround use in the nature.
