Sports reviews of Steiner 242 12x40 Predator Pro Binocular

Customer Review: Best set of binoculars, for the price paid
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

This is the first piece of professional binocular that I bought, after having gone through 2-3 cheap ones. Simply put, I am impressed by the quality of the product. The built quality seems pretty good, and the rubbery non-clip coating feels good in the hands. The part that I like about it is that once set your eyes, you do not need to refocus again. The lens clarity is also exceptional, and these comes with the coatings that makes the animals stand out amongst the foliage.
I am going to Yellowstone National Park next month which will give me a good opportunity to try out these binoculars.
The only con that I feel so far is that the carrying case provided with the binocular doesn't come with straps, and so I might end up spending a few more $$ on a good bag.

Description of Steiner 242 12x40 Predator Pro Binocular

Binocular
The Steiner Predator Pro 12x40 binocular rolls high power, impressive light transmission, amazing contrast, and a high depth of field all into one unit, making it a great choice for hunters on the prowl.


The binocular's color adjustment lens coating helps game subjects "pop" against a green background.
The Predator Pro is equipped with Steiner's exclusive Color Adjusted Transmission (CAT) lens coating, which enhances brown and red colors against foliated backgrounds, making game subjects "pop" from green foliated background. The binocular's auto-focus system, meanwhile, further distinguishes your subjects. Once set for your eyes, the auto-focus system keeps all subjects in focus at distances from roughly 30 yards to infinity, allowing hunters to scan an entire landscape without having to readjust the focus. Add in an exceptionally large depth and field and your Predator Pro is always ready. No more losing your opportunity while trying to focus on a distant target.

Steiner also added a re-engineered rubber armoring that emits almost no noise during handling. The NBR rubber is durable and grippy in wet weather, with a forest green color that blends with woodland settings and most camo patterns. Most importantly, the NBR Long-Life armoring is designed to last two to three times longer than other rubber armors.

And eyeglass wearers will have no difficulty with the Predator Pro, as it offers 18.5mm of eye relief and soft, fold-down eyecups. The Predator Pro 12x40 comes with objective lens caps, a rain guard, a neck strap, and a padded ballistic nylon case.
