From the Manufacturer
The optics of the Peregrine measure higher in spectral light transmission across the entire visible light range, on average, than all of our other closest performance competitors. This means you see colors more vibrantly and you can discover and identify species in more difficult settings and situations.
The optical glass is manufactured at our new state-of-the-art roof prism glass production facility in Bayreuth, Germany.

Focusing
The focus is our rapid close-focus system with left hand diopter adjustment. The precise central focus wheel will go from a close focus of less than 6 feet out to infinity in just one full turn. Any less - the focus would be to sensitive and not precise enough. Any more – the focus could be too slow. The focus of the Peregrine was designed to give you this perfect balance of speed and precision.

Shockproof/Waterproof
We're not just saying it, we practically invented it! As you may already know, Steiner has been in the binocular business for over 55 years now, and has developed numerous innovations which makes binoculars last longer in unfriendly conditions. Early on, we pioneered the use of rubber armoring, and most recently we developed a dry nitrogen purging and pressurization system that absolutely prevents binoculars from fogging internally. We built this purging/pressurized dry nitrogen system into the Peregrine binoculars. They meet and exceed the US government's waterproof /shockproof specification (Mil Std 810 E).

Customer Reviews

Steiner Peregrine Excellent Quality Binoculars
Steiner Peregrine binoculars have a visually striking design that should strongly appeal to any birder. They are slim and light, and their ribbed rubber armor, black and gold falcon head logo, and soft wrap-around eyecups are very stylish.

In my opinion these binoculars were particularly bright, clear, and showed strikingly vivid colors. The 8x have 367-foot field of view at 1000 yards.

Because they are so light they cause very little fatigue, even after a long day in the field. Their slender barrels make them very easy to handle and a likely favorite for birders, especially those with smaller hands. The rubber armor has raised molded thumb rests.

They come with a nice, padded, heavy cordura case and a padded strap that has snap-in connections to attach to the sides of the barrels for easy removal.

Steiner 8X42 Perigrine Binoculars
Excellent optics at a good price but terribly flawed in a minor but important way. The eye cups almost immediately fray at the crease and tear if used by glasses wearers and non glasses wearers. I have been though four pairs that I received free and all are useless. How disappointing. How hard can it be to deal with this bad product design problem? It is impossible to contact Steiner Co. in Germany you can only reach distributors. They just pretend to be amazed that there is a problem.

Steiner Peregrine - the best!
These are wonderful binoculars!

Bright, crystal clear images with exceptional color rendition. The colors have to be seen to be believed. The focus is a rapid close-focus system with left hand diopter adjustment. The precise central focus wheel will go from a close focus of less than 6 feet out to infinity in just one full turn.

The steiner peregrine binoculars are lightweight too. A great purchase for anyone who appreciates excellent quality optics.
