Versatile and rugged, the Steiner Military/Marine 10x50 binocular is an ideal choice for folks who need extra power and brightness. The binocular includes large 50mm objective lenses that gather more light than the 8x30 version, while also presenting a larger image to the user. The binocular also features a tough rubber armoring that's modeled after Steiner's military models, which have seen years of use in a variety of settings, from mountaintops to deep canyons, aboard and ashore. Other features include terrific depth-of-field focusing, 17mm of eye relief, a wide viewing field, and a fogproof, shockproof housing. The Military/Marine 10x50 is perfect for spotting antelope, elk, or caribou.
The Military/Marine 10x50 comes with objective lens caps, a rain guard, a neck strap, and a padded ballistic nylon case.

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.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I've owned this model of steiner binoculars for a little over 9yrs. During that time they have been from the tops of mountains to the bottom of death valley and most places in between, while being exposed to all the elements of nature during my adventures and have yet to let me down.I find them to be waterproof (or at least highly water resistant), rugged, convenient and always dependable. The only reason I don't give them a 5 star rating is that they tend to fog up (slightly) on the external eye piece lenses during cold weather, particularly if I'm overheated from my outdoor activities. Particulars of what I like about them are the rubber coated exterior for the sure grip it gives which doesn't transfer heat or cold to my hands and eyes during use plus it seems to protect them from the shock, drop, bang and bounce tests I've preform'd on them. They are fairly small and light weight (though thats a relative term). I do know they don't give me a pain in the neck from wearing them all day, and still afford me the range/field of view I desire without being cumbersome. I like the fact that once I've focused them for my use they stay that way, whether they've been around my neck while hiking/hunting/boating or I've just grabed them out of the glovebox for a look at something. They are quick on target while giving a wide field of view and perform excellently in low light conditions. Nuff said.
