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.

2.0 out of 5 stars NOT REALLY GOOD AT ALL FOR BIRD WATCHING., February 13, 2008

These are very nice binoculars. But, when you watch birds either in flight or trying to find one in an are the field. The field of vision is way to small.The power is nice if you can hold steady on your object. But be aware the more magnification the more unsteady it becomes. If I wanted to have a pair for the glove box for an emerengy to watch a herd of elk or deer while driving and could stop by the side of the road and hold still, then these would be OK. For bird watching and even football games you need a larger lense at least 35mm or 50mm is better. This gives you more brightness and at dusk you can see much better. Dawn and Dusk 7X50 are the best. Don't get me wrong this is a great deal for holding steady on a bright day but will be disappointing for the most part in the field with limited light.

4.0 out of 5 stars Small mismatch in power vs. objective diameter, February 13, 2008

By 

Roadhunter "Roadhunter" (Pangea) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Steiner 10x26 Safari Binocular (Electronics)

These binoculars are good for a hunter wanting to spot deer and judge their size from a tree stand, but only if extreme portability is a must. They would have been a bit better at only 8X to improve steadiness, as a compact bino such as this would never be used with a tripod.
Make no mistake; they are not designed in any way for bird watching, as birds tend to flit around quite a bit, and the very small 26mm lens on these makes the field of view quite small, making it tough to follow moving objects.

Very happy with the Steiner optics. Added to an inexpensive pair for viewing from our deck. 3D image without glare, sharp edges, etc. Clearly a better product with rock solid frame, optical alignment and construction quality.
