Steiner 7x50 Marine Binocular

Steiner 7x50 Marine Binocular List Price: $329.99 $269.99 At Amazon on 5-26-2011.

Waterproof, shockproof binocular with 7x magnification and 50mm objective lens Sports-Autofocus system puts everything into focus from 20 yards to infinity BAK-4 prisms, fully multicoated optical surfaces, and 20mm of long eye relief Light transmission peaks at over 90 percent for viewing in low-light conditions Measures 8.2 x 2.8 x 5.2 inches W x H x D and weighs 37 ounces; 10-year warranty Amazon.com Product Description Big on performance and generous on economy, Steiner's 7x50 Marine binocular is ideal for both boaters and shore-bound users. The binocular is equipped with marine glass that's built to traditional Steiner navy/military styling, from its sharp and incredibly bright optics to the easy-to-grip exterior. The Sports-Autofocus system, meanwhile, puts everything into focus from 20 yards to infinity once calibrated to the user's eyes. Most importantly for boaters, however, is the binocular's waterproof and shockproof housing, which protects the optics should you accidentally drop the binocular into a body of water. Other details include BAK-4 prisms, fully multicoated optical surfaces, an easy-to-grip exterior, outstanding light transmission that peaks over 90 percent, and 20mm of long eye relief. The 7x50 Marine binocular--which comes with a web strap, a rain and spray guard for the eyepieces, and an attached objective lens cap--is backed by a 10-year warranty. Specifications: Objective lens: 50mm Magnification: 7x Field of view: 354 feet @ 1,000 yards Eye relief: 20mm Dimensions: 8.2 by 2.8 by 5.2 inches (W x H x D) Weight: 37 ounces I have the 7x50 Steiner Ralleye model, which appears to be identical to the Marine version. It is built like a tank and gives you a lot of confidence that it will hold up to abuse. In low light and night conditions this is an excellent performer. If you are using this is an area with a lot ambient light (such as a town) or moonlight, it will really bring a lot of detail out of the shadows and is a better choice by far then night vison equipment costing hundreds more. The 7x magnification is also a nice choice for avoiding lense shake. (I also have a pair of 9x40 Steiners, and that move from 7x-9x power is noticeable.) The 7x50 also allows you to better follow moving targets. The sport auto focus system works very well and the optics are excellent. Edit: Oct 2009. I have acquired several other binos since this purchase and now primarily use a roof prism set of 10x40's as the weight is better and I wanted that little bit of extra power in the day light. However for low light and stability nothing beats these and they are still the best built pair I have. I would still recommend these.
