Steiner Model Military-Marine 8x30 Binoculars

For those looking for a mid-size porro prism binocular, this one is for you. Although it is classified as a military marine binocular it can be used for general purposes. Stylish and very well made. Easy to carry around because of its light weight and to further add to its credential, it has fixed focus lens which mean that you just have to focus once on the left and right diopters and you are good to go. Its clarity and brightness is amazing. Although it will hurt your pocket a bit, wait for the price to drop and then snatch it.

These things are worth every penny. Chrystal clear image and very good color without much in the way of chromatic aberration. The “Auto Focus” is a bit of a misnomer as you do have to manually adjust the focus on each eye, but this allows you to set them to different focal depths and not need to mess with them much within that range of distances. It sort of tricks your brain into making the image mostly in focus within the set ranges. It’s very intuitive and easy to set on the fly. The objective lease covers seal very securely but you won’t have to wrestle them loose, and they’re captive so you can just pop them loose and they’ll hang on to the binoculars out of the way without interfering with your view. Rear caps are one piece and not the most secure, but that can be remedied with a ranger band or elastic hair tie across the bridge and they’ll be fine. Comes with a pretty awesome desert camo padded soft case and tan neck strap as well. Overall 10/10 they feel rugged and well made. Super functional and you won’t feel like you are at a loss of value.

Sharp image and good colour

ミリタリーマニアですが憧れのシュタイナーを手に出来て大満足です。以前はT社の軍事用モデルを長年使用していました。それも良く見えるのですがやっぱりこれは良いです。以前は大変高価でしたがセカンドエディションの登場で少し安く買えるようです。性能は視野も広く明るく良く見えますし文句は無いです。独特な形状のボディも頼もしくガッチリしてますが見た目に反して軽量です。デザートパターンの可愛いファスナーケースが付いているのも御愛嬌です。 持って出掛けたくなりますよ。迷ってる方は是非。

Obwohl es mein günstigstes Glas von Steiner ist, ist es sofort zu meinem Liebling geworden. Das Gewicht ist prima und die breite Bauweise machen es enorm handlich und einfach führig. Zudem hat man durch die Art zu greifen eine enorme Bildruhe. Die Qualität ist ebenfalls prima, vor allem im Angesicht des Preises gibt es hier gar nichts zu meckern. Auch mag ich die Lösung mit dem festen Fokus, das es einfach enorm praktisch ist. Einmal auf die Augen eingestellt, bedarf es keiner weiteren Einstellungen mehr - man greift sich das Glas und fertig. Wirklich ein tolles Glas und aus der Serie werde ich mir sicher noch ein größeres holen! OutdoorMinimalist.net
