I’m glad I made this purchase. The Military-Marine 7x50 has excellent clarity and is easy to adjust. They are light and not bulky. Perfect for hunting and target plinking.

I've always wanted a pair of Steiner optics but they were always out of my price range. Found a pair of 8x30 military marine binoculars at a store closing. The difference in quality is instantly recognizable. Compared my old set side by side with the Steiner's, there was no comparison! The image quality and brightness blew my old set out of the water. I can't beleive I went all these years without buying a quality set. I'll never go back to cheap optics again

Purchased Marine 8x30s at West Marine for work and sports viewing. Now I know what I've been missing using lesser glass. The light transmission and field of view really make a difference versus what I had been using. The sports focus is fantastic. Set it and forget it. Everyone who tries them can't believe the clarity. Overall a wonderful product at a reasonable price. Will not be my only pair of Steiners.

Would have liked a tripod thread but great optics

My first Steiners. The sport focus feature took a while to figure out as I really expected to need to re-focus all the time. They do have a very forgiving focus range, so following the instructions and trusting my eyes to accommodate does work. I suppose 7x don't really need tripod stability, but you can never be too stable. I appreciate there is no flat platform on the underside to put a thread, but these things do work upside down, so a brass thread on the upper surface could be a useful added feature for a future model. I do optics for a living (microscopes) and am always adding minor upgrades. Thread for camera filters could also be useful; but they would get in the way of the very good lens caps.

Great Product!!

I purchased this 8x30 bino more than 2 years ago and have used it primarily at the range but also for sight seeing and some nature watching. I was a little worried that the fixed 8-power it offers would limit its utility. This is the clearest binoculars I have ever used. The quality of the optics is outstanding. Makes me want to get a 20-power version for use for long range spotting.
What I and my friends finds the most amazing is the Auto Focus feature. It does not matter who uses it and what their vision might. It did not matter if they were near or far sighted. The binos provided clear, crisp focus and instantaneous transition between subjects near and far. This includes focusing on something at 10-yards to a measured 600+ yards without any detectable delay.
I highly recommend this optic for most uses. The only "problem" I have ever had a problem is one or both of the attached objective lense caps seem to always find its way onto the objective on its own. So once in a while you will find yourself looking through the optic and not see anything. But other than this, I have no complaints.

I bought these as a Christmas present for myself in late 2014. I have really liked them so far. I've used them for a little bit of bird-watching, some astronomy, and general sight-seeing. Excellent clarity, and I like the light weight, it makes them easy to hold.

8X30 Military-Marine binoculars are new again!

I purchased these binoculars in the late 1980's, and have been using them primarily for hunting. After 25 years of hard use, I had to send them in to be collimated. While at the factory, a new armor coating was provided. Free. They are like new again!. I'll never buy anything but Steiner. Excellent service for an excellent product!

Backup Binoculars

The Steiners were bought as a backup to my pair with a built in compass that I use exclusively on my sailboat. They are compact enough to use for land trips and birding outings.
