Reasonably light-weight, very clear glass, German quality. Range-finding reticle, accurate compass. My only gripe - the reticle mast moves when you adjust the inter-pupilar distance, and in my case becomes "bent" after adjustment. I guess it's inevitable with this design (which is very common).
Steiner are used in all facets of Gov"t they are a fantastic binocular for the money used on the water land & air, they never fog up and last
If you are looking for marine binoculars the German Steiner company offers you two specialized series: the cheaper Navigator and the more expensive Commander. In both cases you deal with Porro prism 7x30 and 7x50 instruments, available with or without compass built-in.
very solid; fully sealed casing; very good correction of chromatic aberration; negligible distortion; moderate coma; sharp image across almost the whole field of view; low brightness loss on the edge of the field of view
no coatings (or weak coatings) on prisms optical elements; truncated and darkened exit pupils near the very edge; interior of the tubes leaves something to be desired
Perfect optics ,compass encroaches slightly and they're quite heavy !
If you like porro prism binoculars, this is one of the two best I have seen, and I have seen and used many. The other is the Fujinon Polaris 7x50. The best use cases are for sports, birding and wildlife, including whale watching.
I recently purchased the Steiner Navigator Pro Binoculars and I am very impressed. I use them on my sailboat and do offshore racing. I thought my last set was great and I know see what I was missing. These are really incredible optics and clarity is way better than the old set.
