Description of Steiner 8.5x26 Wildlife Binocular

The Wildlife Pro binocular includes a neck strap, a rain guard, objective caps, and a carrying case.

The Steiner Wildlife Pro is available in three sizes: 8x30, 8.5x26, and 10.5x28. The Wildlife Pro 8x30 Ultra-Sharp binocular revolutionizes focusing to create sharp images regardless of the situation. The binocular starts with an auto-focus feature that automatically hones in on your subject from roughly 20 yards to infinity. In low-light conditions, this timesaving feature is critical to clear viewing. Steiner then refined the auto-focus system by adding Ultra-Sharp fingertip adjustment. Similar to a traditional center focus, the Ultra-Sharp adjustment requires only a touch of the ribbed fingertip wheel to fine-tune sharpness or focus on nearby objects. With a close-focus distance of 6 feet, the focusing system produces a sharper picture faster than any other binocular on the market.

The Wildlife Pro 8.5x26 binocular is small in size yet big in performance. Small enough to fit in a coat pocket, the 8.5x26 has a wide field of view, is phase corrected, and comes with fully multicoated lenses for superb resolution and brightness. The center-focus roof prism binocular is also water-resistant and shockproof, with a close focus distance of 6.5 feet.

At only 11 ounces, the Wildlife Pro 10.5x28 model is only 1 ounce heavier than the 8.5x26, making it ideal for people who need additional power without excess weight. The binocular is equipped with multicoated optics; phase-corrected roof prisms; a waterproof, shockproof housing; and a fast, precise center focusing system.

All Wildlife Pro binoculars come with a super-comfortable neoprene neck strap, a rain guard, objective caps, and a carrying case. The cushioned neck strap, which includes a quick-release buckle system, can be removed instantly for cleaning or replacement. The rain guard, meanwhile, keeps rain, moisture, and dust off the eyepiece, so you enjoy clear views every time. The binocular's objective caps grip the lenses securely for protection. And the case is made of thermo-formed PVC, which basically adds another cushioning layer to the outside of the binocular.

Wrapped in a smooth, quiet, non-reflective earthtone rubber armoring that's nearly invisible to wildlife, Wildlife Pro binoculars carry a 30-year manufacturer's limited warranty.

About Steiner
Karl Steiner established Steiner Optik GmbH in 1947, turning it from a one-man factory to a 50-plus employee company within six years. Offering products ranging from small cameras to binoculars and special lenses, Steiner soon turned his attention to professional high-quality binoculars. From the beginning Steiner Optiks has focused on creating new optics technologies, including such innovations as rubber armoring, the first binocular with an integrated compass, the first binocular with an optical coating to protect against harmful UV radiation, the pocket-size binocular, and the Predator lens coating to increase animal contrast against wooded backgrounds. Today, Steiner manufactures binoculars for the military, marine, hunting, outdoor, birding, and leisure industries.
