Product Information

This was by choice as we were going as a family and thus as well as my camera, we had my nine-year-old daughter as well as our dog in the canoe.

Steiner has added multiple coatings of a special anti-reflection material to ALL of the optical surfaces throughout the system and not just the first and last lenses, which is sometimes the case on lesser instruments. Very interesting reading your findings about the latest Navigator, and great to hear someone as experienced as you stating the simple facts as they are. If you are approved you can complete your purchase immediately Representative example: Representative 19. When out in the field (on dry land), I usually don't use them much and almost never take the time to attach the rain-guard to the neck strap as it just gets in the way.

High-quality glass and coatings deliver a bright, vibrant view with extremely low levels of color fringing and almost no softening around the edges of the view. Even temperature fluctuations from -20 °C to +70 °C do not impair the functionality of nitrogen-filled STEINER binoculars. These Steiner Navigator Pro 7x30 Binoculars don't have a focus wheel, rather they incorporate a diopter adjuster on each of the eyepieces. Here again, the wide field of view ensures that you are able to take in more of the onfield action at once without having to pan about and I feel their size is still compact enough for you to easily pack them away into your daysack.

By attaching a strap to the binoculars' universal belt attachment, they are always within easy reach.One optical coating that is important to mention here for their intended marine uses is that they have a hydrophobic/aquaphobic material on the outer lens surfaces. Disclaimer: I own roughly a dozen Steiner binoculars, some of which I like very much, some I like, and a few I really don’t like. That’s why we’ll make it in our best interest to offer you the very best option should you find them cheaper. If I were allowed a last wish: Steiner Optics, a number of your binoculars are actually quite usable, please stop devaluing them with claims about “autofocus” that are clearly incorrect. Firstly the moderate 7x power helps make it much easier to keep the image steady and shake-free with a lower magnification, which on the unsteady platform of a boat or yacht on the water is of great importance.

Designed with professional marine and fishing industries in mind, these 7x50 Fujinon binoculars also make excellent wide-field astronomy binoculars. This version of the binoculars comes equipped with a large, illuminated compass that is fluid damped, shock-absorbing and the most precise in its class.Throuh durable polycarbonate Makrolon housing that withstands 11G of impact, Floating Prism System that uses flexible silicon to absorb severe shock, impact and misuse without damage, Water Pressure Proofness up to 5 m, Nitrogen-Pressure-Filling into the optic against fogging up inside at temperature range between –20 °C to +60 °C and the protective, hydrophobic STEINER Nano-Protection on the lenses makin

As well as this, I know from a tour of their factory, that Steiner uses excellent quality glass (either Hoya from Japan or Schott in Germany) on all their higher-end instruments and so this combined with the knowledge that all the lenses along the whole optical pathway on the Navigator pro have multiple layers of anti-reflection coatings applied to them (fully multi-coated) meant it was no surprise to find that the image brightness, in general, and especially in the good to average light conditions that we mostly experienced on our trip was excellent.The porro prism optical design combined with the fully multicoated optics provides high-contrast images with true color representation and long depth of field. High Resolution BAK4 prisms ensure a brighter image throughout the range of magnifications by maximising light transmission. The covering makes the binoculars pleasant to hold and provides a comfortable and intuïtive viewing experience. The Illusion 7×30 is designed to give a very light weight binocular coupled with exceptional clarity and brightness.
