Steiner 8x30mm Military R Binoculars

Comments about Steiner :

My son wanted these binoculars before he left on deployment. We looked for several weeks trying to find the exact ones he wanted. I finally found them on Hayneedle[...] Will look on this web \site first for the things he needs.

Comments about Steiner :

I use these for adventuring and they are great, so robust they don't card if you drop them or not. The glass is superb offering excellent views, I'd recommend these to anyone.

Comments about Steiner :

This is a very good and reliable product. These are optically sound binoculars, with the M22 reticle for estimating size/distance. They are somewhat heavy for the power/field-of-view, but this is primarily due to their robust waterproofing and shock-resistance (always a trade-off).

Comments about Steiner :

The quality glass is well worth the additional money. Do not be fooled by the 30mm lens, excellent low light images.

Comments about Steiner :

I recently used these on a trip through Arizona to use for backpacking. Couldn't be happier with the way these worked! Crystal clear lenses, excellent performance in low light, and powerful enough to see small objects from miles away. (In the Grand Canyon, I could clearly spot people walking around the top of the canyon from deep below.) May be a bit heavy for backpacking but the performance and clarity made the extra weight worth carrying. The rugged construction held up to all the abuse of camping in below freezing weather and rainy conditions. The reticle came very much in handy for estimating distances from landmarks. While a bit on the pricey side, you get what you pay for in terms of quality and construction. Looking forward to using these for years to come. By light years, better than any other set of binoculars I've owned.
