About Steiner
With a true passion for business, optics pioneer Karl Steiner established Steiner Optik GmbH in 1947. Despite the difficult economical post-war situation, this innovative company grew from a one-man factory to a more than 50-employee company within six years. Offering products from small cameras to binoculars and special lenses, Karl Steiner soon realized that the company's future would lie within the production of professional high-quality binoculars. This revolutionary idea set high standards within the optics industry, and Steiner Optik soon became the world-leading quality binocular manufacturer. In 1973, father Karl stepped down and his son Carl Steiner continued to run the family business. Putting his heart into further developing his father's innovative product ideas, Carl Steiner managed to strengthen the company's position, and Steiner Optik became the world's leading company in binocular production with products available in more than 45 countries.
Faithful to the traditions upon which his father founded the company, Carl Steiner held on to his commitments of unsurpassed quality, keeping the production location in Germany to create new jobs and career opportunities for his employees, providing expert training of his staff, and making a constant investment in research and development. Today, Steiner manufactures binoculars for the military, marine, hunting, outdoors, birding, and leisure activities.
Sports reviews of Steiner 10x26 Safari Binocular
Customer Review: Disappointing
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
Maybe it's just my particular pair, but I'm very disappointed with the focusing mechanism in these Steiner binoculars. The focusing knob turns very stiff & has a lot of "slop" to it, ie, when you turn the knob too far, & you start to rotate the knob back the other direction to get the precise focus, there is about 15 degrees of rotation before it actually does anything. Not very effective when trying to view fast moving objects or getting that first initial view of whatever you're looking at.
I don't wear glasses, & feel that the eye cups don't extend out far enough to be effective. It feels like my eyes are practically touching the lenses to get the proper view through the binoculars.
The clarity of the optics are good for the price paid, but I ended up putting these back in the box & went back to using my old Zeiss 8x20s.
Customer Review: NOT REALLY GOOD AT ALL FOR BIRD WATCHING.
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
These are very nice binoculars. But, when you watch birds either in flight or trying to find one in an are the field. The field of vision is way to small.The power is nice if you can hold steady on your object. But be aware the more magnification the more unsteady it becomes. If I wanted to have a pair for the glove box for an emerengy to watch a herd of elk or deer while driving and could stop by the side of the road and hold still, then these would be OK. For bird watching and even football games you need a larger lense at least 35mm or 50mm is better. This gives you more brightness and at dusk you can see much better. Dawn and Dusk 7X50 are the best. Don't get me wrong this is a great deal for holding steady on a bright day but will be disappointing for the most part in the field with limited light.
