Steiner Military-Marine Series Binoculars, Lightweight Tactical Precision Optics for Any Situation, Waterproof, Green, 8x30

I upgraded my gear from a Nikon 9X25CF and bought the Steiner 8X30 Military-Marine. I needed binoculars that could focus on fast moving objects without constantly having to adjust the center-focus-wheel. I am impressed with the auto-focus feature which works great from 20yard to infinity. If you're trying to observe objects that are closer than 20 yards, then these binoculars are not for you. The optics are bright and clear over the entire field of view. I take them out for hunting, camping, boating, hiking, target shooting, beach and travel. Built to military specs, they are tough and excellent in all environments and climates. There is plenty of eye-relief and the cups roll back to accommodate those who wear glasses. You get what you pay for. Highly recommend.

We used these binoculars in the Marine Corps and after I got out as a park ranger. I just needed a small, compact binocular that can see for a mile easily day or night. Even at night looking at the stars the brightness is incredible. Tracking satellites overhead is fun.

I bought these to replace an older pair if cheaper binos. My experience with Steiner optics came from using them in the Army. They are well built and for the cost they work very well, however they are not MILSPEC. With that said, the image quality is very good, they gather light well in lowlight conditions, however when a another light source enters the field of view, such as an aircraft or a set of car headlights, the distortion created blurs the field of vision badly. My actual MILSPEC Steiner's don't have that happen. And my Kowa's, Vortex's and Swarovski's don't do that either, but in the light of day they are very, very good.

These Binoculars are the first pair I've purchased personally. I liked them so much I bought the 10x50 also. They are built to take a beating and have crystal clear glass and a good ergonomics. I would buy them again if I lost the pairs I have..

Good quality optics.But bigger and bulkier than Vortex models of the same power.Vortex models are brighter.

Great quality again from Steiner! The 8x is powerful and the image is very clear. It is lightweight and easy to focus.

Very nice binoculars! Once set to your particular vision settingsnothing else has to be done as it's all automatic.

My second pair of auto focus Steiner Binoculars. Both are very nice. Very clear .. eye relief is forgiving .. tough as nails .. my first pair has been on many hunting trips including Alaska, Colorado .. in terrible weather performed like a champ and the rubber finish kept them looking like new. I use them when stargazing as well .. that’s how clear and aberration free they are .. as they say “get you some”
