Bought a pair of these in 2004 for a deployment to Iraq. They got knocked around for 11 months of HUMVEE patrols from Najaf to Baghdad, and are still working fine a decade later. I still keep them in my car, and last week used them for stargazing at the confluence of Venus, Jupiter and Mars with my wife - a much more enjoyable activity than their original purpose.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My wife's favorite

My wife has severe eye problems, surgery for retinal tears etc. I have the Steiners for night navigation with our boat but we boat on the Mississippi Winter flyway for many bird species. No boating, no problem, watch birds, distant birds no problem, she gets the Steiners I take the 10X50s that my eyes accept and her's don't. Eagles, Mute Swans, Trumpeter Swans and various ducks are easy to reach out and touch for both of us. We pass many afficianadoes with tripods and long lenses looking at the same view we have with our binos, I reserve my tripod to my 1000mm telescope and use my hands to embrace my bino view of the daylight...unless it is night time and I am navigating with assistance from my Steiners.
When a new member of our astronomical group asked what telescope was best for a newby, all would answer: A good pair of binoculars! You may not find deep sky objects are your interest, you may not find planets or asteroids are your interest but a great pair of binoculars will introduce you and if you don't want to be out in the dark, you will have a view of the world that is closer and clearer!
Enjoy your view of the World.

I received this gift from my Dad. He knows that I have always been partial to Steiner products because of their reputation for clear high quality optics. I have never had a set of 7x50 binos before and was pleasantly surprised by how much light they gather and the wide field of vision. They are a bit bulky but not uncomfortable due to the Makralon housing. I noticed very little distortion out to the edge of the lens with good definition of objects at distance. The rubberized covering appears to be durable and is comfortable in the hands. Focusing controls function smoothly with a feeling of quality. I feel that you can spend a lot more for very marginal increase in performance if you were to purchase some other brands. These binos offer an excellent balance of high quality at a still reasonable price. They are keepers.

This review is likely a mirror image of others. The quality is there for this useful proven product. So much so that it's a standard by which all others are compared to. I've had other binoculars but with this purchase, my marine borne operations are easier sans fumbling in the dark or in unfamiliar waters. I would recommend this binocular to anyone.

I own three pairs of Steiner binoculars, 8x22 8x30,and now 7x50,s . I like the set and forget type that work quite well for wildlife viewing in thick woods. Being an old man the 7x50, are nice for shakey hands! Good solid binoculars well worth the price.

I found a pair of Steiner 8X30 Military/Marine binocs while hunting deer on Kodiak Island Alaska recently. They were barely visible in the mud. I pried them out and had to jerk on the strap to dislodge it. They were there a while. I joked to my hunting partner that someone might be back for them and hung them in a tree for the rightful owner. Not sure the owner had survived the loss as there were clearly bear tooth marks on them. Really didn't think much about it until back at camp that night when a fellow hunter said "they probably would replace those". Shoot, I had abandoned them out there somewhere. Well couple days later with no effort to look for them I stumbled upon the tree I had hung them in so now I was the rightful owner I guess. I grabbed them. Upon further encouragement I looked into service. They were beyond hope with water in optics... I sent them in and about 10 days later with no questions got a brand new pair sent to me. To same I am pleased would be a pitiful understatement. Merry Christmas to me!!! Thanks Steiner. You rock.

Although these binoculars are a bit heavy, they give you a great view of what you are looking at. I use them for whale watching and they are better than any other binocular I have used in the past, including the ones used by the captain of the boat.

From the durable finish to the "as advertised" auto focus these binoculars are top of the line.
If you're looking for a great set of binoculars to use for hunting, fishing, or other activity, look no further. Crystal clear viewing at its finest, and at only 18 ounces you won't even notice them in your pocket or around your neck.
