Amazon.com Product Description
Steiner's 8x42 Predator binoculars are lightweight, roof-prism, center-focus hunting binoculars. They feature the same predator "game sensing" lens coating as the Steiner 8x30 Predator. They offer a relative brightness of 27.56 and the advantage of enhanced contrast for spotting hidden game in the thickest foliage. The green objective lens coating blocks out the colors of haze and foliage and increases the transmission of brown, red, and other game colors. The wrap-around long-eye-relief Predator eyecups block distracting sidelight. The eyecups are constructed of soft rubber and provide 23 millimeters of eye relief for extended periods of comfortable viewing.

These binoculars provide 8x magnification and 42-millimeter lenses for a field of view of 367 feet at 1,000 yards. The rugged forest green rubber construction provides both water and shock resistance to withstand rain, moisture, and jarring. Along with the binoculars, you receive a case, a neoprene strap, and attached objective lens caps.

Steiner, Europe's binocular specialist for more than 50 years, backs its 8x42 Predator binoculars with a 30-year warranty.

From the Manufacturer
It’s early season and you’re in your stand later than usual. Since the leaves haven’t turned yet, they blend in with the scattered pines and fern on the woodland floor. One look through your 8 x 42 Predators show you that not all woodland colors are created equal! You keep glassing into the early evening and suddenly your eyes see . . .

Predator lens coatings help you spot hidden game by blocking the colors of haze and foliage, enhancing the visibility of browns, reds and other wildlife colors.

Choose from models designed to meet your special needs, from the thickest cover to hill country, or in low light or sunshine scattered through treetops… wherever and however you need to spot in cover, the Predator’s eyes will give you the edge you need.

Give yourself the advantage with binoculars designed to actually help you find game, not just see it. The 8 x 30 and 12 x 40 Predator models feature Steiner’s Sports Auto-Focus: once set for your eyes, they deliver incredible depth of field, for sharp images of everything from 20 yards to infinity, with no further adjustment. Add Predator’s high-contrast, game-sensing coatings, and you’ll discover hidden game before others even know where to look.

Customer Reviews

Best Binoculars I've Ever Owned
The clarity and power of these binoculars are amazing. It seems as if I have the same power as a cheaper pair of 10X binoculars even though these are only 8X. I think it must be due to the great optics and focus. The phase contrast for hunting does help bring out the prey. And the no fog lenses do really work. They really are the best pair of binoculars I have owned. I wouldn't mind trying the 10x42 next! Rugged, compact and built like tanks. If you've got the money, you really do get what you pay for.

Delicious
Steiner products have always been of very high quality and well worth the price. Wheather your spotting game or just fooling around they always prove to be very dependable. While I,ve just recently purchased this pair my grandfather has had his for 11 years, still in fine condition. The rubber coating is very durable. Highly recommended.
