If you need high performance for faster discovery, especially of birds on the move, take a close look at the new light weight alloy bodied Steiner Merlin binoculars. They are precise, yet amazingly rugged and also fully waterproofed for even the rainiest days. The optics are made with premium optical glass and are coated with our own natural color transmission multi-coating which boosts light transmission much higher than similar binoculars in this price range and yields extraordinary clarity, resolution and color fidelity. Focusing is our unique "Fast-Focus" system which turns from close focus to infinite distance in two full turns of the focus wheel, for razor sharp fine tuning. The focusing is smooth and precise, and it's waterproof.
Since birds are skittish by the presence of bright or light colors, Steiner tried the opposite approach with the exterior finish of the Merlin: the almost transparent neutral color on the Merlin is a unique earth tone brown; chosen by Steiner's development staff and birders as a color least noticeable to birds.
Top features of Steiner Merlin Binoculars Series
1. Aptly named for their magician-like ability to create and capture the most stunning images, the Steiner Merlin Binoculars Series feature a range of models to satisfy your nature-lust. Because our feathered friends are startled by bright colors, the models of this series all feature an exterior finish that is a nearly transparent neutral earth tone brown - the color chosen by Steiner's development team as the color least noticeable to birds. Magic? No, just good engineering.
2. Focus is Steiner's focus. Their unique "Fast Focus" system turns close focus to infinite distance in two simple turns of the focus wheel. This creates razor sharp fine tuning that develops smooth, precise images unmatched in its class.
