Customer Reviews

Built like a tank but....optics poor.
I bought theses binoculars as work equipment. Their construction is tough as nails but they suffer greatly from internal reflections. Not recomended for low light or night use! (no 30mm objective will perform well in dim light) Best description would be STEINER LITE. Not up to the standards of the rest of the Steiner line.

Extremely rugged and an overall good value...
This binocular is seems extremely well constructed and rugged. The image quality is good (though not great). The sport focus system does not really work from 20 yards out (as advertised). It's fairly sharp from 70 yards or so out, but I've found I have to re-focus for the 20-70 yard range. The focus mechanism is fairly stiff, so it does stay put once focused. Despite the minor shortcomings, this binocular was exactly what I was looking for - lightweight, rugged, decent image, reasonable price.

Superb!
"Absolutely astonishing optical performance" is the advertisement - and it rings true. Couldn't believe the difference when compared to Nikon Naturalist IV 7x35 (endorsed by the National Audubon Society). Both are comparable weight, but for twice the price of the Nikon, you get an order of magnitude more clarity & brightness. Remarkable! Only drawback is the lack of central focusing. The individual eyepieces require frequent adjustment for anything closer than 25 yards. This binocular is a keeper!
