Minox 8x26 X-Lite Binoculars Compact Lightweight Opticsdesigned their Minox 8x26 X-Lite Binoculars Compact Lightweight Opticsto be your go-to optic for all of your outdoor activities.

Their 8x power brings your subject in close for observation while preserving a comfortable exit pupil and eye relief, making them ideal for bird watching, hiking, and sightseeing. The 26mm objectives keep the form factor highly compact and light to easily fit in most pockets, packs, and bags without weighing you down. This combination of power and objective size make these comfortable binoculars to carry, hold, and use all day long without causing fatigue or eyestrain. Anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics and phase-corrected K9 roof prisms transmit bright and clear high-contrast images with true neutral color rendition and crisp clarity.

Utilizing an open-bridge/dual-hinge configuration helps to cut weight without sacrificing stability while providing plenty of room to wrap your hands completely around the optical tubes for a better grip. The chassis is made of a lightweight and durable aluminum alloy, while the optical tubes are nitrogen filled and O-ring sealed for water and fogproof performance—so the X-Lite will be more comfortable than you if the weather takes a turn to cold and wet.

Q: 3. Will this light work with Pentax K5 DSLR?

A: According to Tiffen This light will work with any camera that has a flash shoe mount. It is not an ETTL flash, the camera will make the flash fire but cannot control the light intensity being projected. The user will have to adjust his camera settings to match the flash output manually. This flash also works as a constant light for video applications.

Q: 9. Are the roof prisms in the Minox 8-44 X-HD phase-coated?

A: Dielectric-Coated Roof Prisms. This type of coatings are found on roof prisms of binocular and are there to increase light reflectivity - As the light is incident at a glass–air boundary with an angle less than the critical angle, total internal reflection does not occur at that surface. To solve this problem, a mirror coating is used on those surfaces. To quantify typically an aluminium mirror coating is used that has a reflectivity of 87% to 93%) or a silver mirror coating (reflectivity of 95% to 98%) is used. The light transmission of the prism can be improved by using a dielectric coating rather than a metallic mirror coating. This causes the prism surfaces to act as a dielectric mirror. The dielectric multilayer coating increases reflectivity from the prism surfaces by acting as a distributed Bragg reflector. A well-designed dielectric coating can provide a reflectivity of more than 99% across the visible light spectrum.

Q: 10. What is the kelvin temperature without the adapters?. Is it daylight?
