Steiner Safari 10x26 Binocular, soft padded case Manufacturer Warranty
Limited 10-year warranty 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.

 Nice set of binoculars August 8, 2008
Purchased these to take on a trip to Alaska. They are light weight and were just what we needed. Seems a good buy and quality item.
 Disappointing June 8, 2008
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.
outstanding optics, great value June 7, 2008
The quality is outstanding, with superb image even in low light. I can easily read the numbers of license plates from 200 feet. Easy to focus and while it is very light it feels rock solid. But be warned that the eye cups are not very deep and so there is a tendency to hit the lens when one blinks. On the other hand, the Steiner specialty of eye cups shaped to block light from the sides work very well. The maginification is just right for detailed views and while there is some tendency for shake, that is not an overwhelming problem, and well worth the tradeoff. Overall, these are superb quality German made glasses, and it is amazing to get them at such a low price. These should last a lifetime and I look forward to taking them on my safari to Africa (where from past experience, light weight for glasses is essential-it is very tiring to have heavy glasses around your neck all day).
 Pretty good product May 29, 2008
Nice binoculars, but not as listed by Amazon.
Amazon lists them as a $229.99 item selling for $89.99. At the Steiner website, the $229.99 binoculars are the Predator Pro. These binoculars, the Safari Pro, list for $129.99 at Steiner website.
One has to assume the Predator model is better, if for no other reason than they weigh 3 oz. more. Also has a neater looking case and all lens are coated.
For those of you so interested the interpupillary distance is slightly less than 76mm, which I require, but, in the past, I have lived with Zeiss binoculars of 75mm.
The 4-star rating is Amazon's goof, not Steiners.
Love these binoculars!!! April 30, 2008

I love them!!! Saw them on sale and binoculars have been on my husband's wish list for years (I honestly never saw the need for them so when I pick things off his list for a gift they kept being passed over) so I bought them. Since Father's Day is so very far away and Amazon's return policy .....well, the less said the better, I decided to take them out and check to make sure they were okay. Okay? These are fantastic!!! I live in the middle of nowhere and I can see the deer herd move through the hills. Not only can I see them but I can now pick up little individual characteristics and tell them apart (yeah, I have no life-got a problem with that?). I watch the birds and see every little feather on their heads. Poor husband is going to get his gift and find them well broke in but a pair of Steiner binoculars will be on MY wish list soon.
