A very brilliant German binoculars, solid made, not heavy, bright, sharp and crispy images, the focus tuning is superb, simple and easy. I’m very pleased to get this for a very good price on Prime Day Sale. Fully recommend.

great bins but compared to kestrels?
I have used these in bright sunny conditions I was pleased with the image quality, however now winter is here they are poor in comparison to my newly acquired Viking Kestrels ED which are considerably cheaper! The focusing on the steiners are very stiff, both the central overall focussing and the right lens for eye correction, in fact the overall image in comparison is nothing like the Kestrals

best performance
This item has a great field of view with no ghosting, only problem is there a little heavy round the neck, apart from this they are one of the best Binoculars I have owned.

Ich hatte bisher nur Gläser vom Discounter, war aber auch eher zum Spaß und weniger als ernst zu nehmendes Fernglas. Im Gegensatz dazu ist das Steiner Observer wie Röhrenfernseher gegen 4K. Absolut sauber verarbeitet, handlich und trotzdem leistungsstark. Als angehender Jäger hab ich mir lange überlegt was ich haben möchte und mich ungeschaut. 10x benötige ich weniger da ich hauptsächlich im Wald unterwegs bin, dazu kommt das bei 8x die Bildstabilität einfach besser ist. 56er Objektive sind natürlich lichtstärker als 42er, aber in Zeiten von Wärmebild ist man nachts nicht mehr auf schwere und Klobige 56er Gläser angewiesen. Für mich ist das 8x42 eine perfekte Mischung. Die Tasche sowie die Abdeckungen für objektiv und okular sind top, können aber auch abgenommen werden. Das Glas hat eine griffige Oberfläche und fühlt sich wertig an. Gleichzeitig nimmt man ihm auch ab das es absolut Outdoor geeignet ist und nicht gleich beim ersten feindkontakt nachgibt. Alles in einem ein sehr guter Allrounder mit einem sehr ansprechenden Preis von einem renommierten Hersteller aus Deutschland

Very clear glass very easy to focus. I find the focus wheel the perfect level of ease and use. I can see fetal I low light at 5km and very fine details in normal light at further distances. They are very easy to hold still whilst looking at distance. I can track game and birds as well as sports with ease. I knew I was getting quality binoculars but read they were ‘entry level’ if these are entry level, IMO there’s no need to spend more money on high end. These do more than what I imagined by a long way. They feel great in the hands and are very durable and rugged. Overall I give them 10/10

Après avoir beaucoup hésité entre l'équivalent Nikon et surtout avec les Olivon Pc 3, j'ai tenté Steiner. Et c'est vraiment excellent y compris les accessoires dont la solidité des caches). Je ne saurai jamais comment sont les 2 autres mais peux dire que l'observation est aussi agréable qu’avec mes jumelles prècedentes, des Leitz 8X40... achetées il y a plus de 30 ans (et toujours en excellent état). Mais la différence de prix rend les Leitz ou leica vraiment difficile d'accès!
