I've used Steiner 8x30 Military/Marine binoculars for 20 years and have found them to be the best value for my dollar of any binoculars I've used. With that in mind, I had high hopes for these 8x22 Predators. I was disappointed. The exit pupil is so small, it's almost impossible to get a good clear view through the binoculars. Also, the edges of the field of view seemed slightly blurry. And last, once I adjusted the left eyepiece to give ma a decent picture at 100 yards, then used the center focus knob to focus for closer or farther distances, I would have to readjust the left eyepiece to get a clear picture at the new distance. The combination of these problems made the binoculars virtually unuseable. Not sure if the low-end Steiners made in the Czech Republic are just not up to the quality of yesteryear, or if these are just common problems with compact binoculars, but I sent them back for a refund.

I ordered a pair of Steiner Predator Pro 8x22 binoculars for use in Afghanistan. The military issues great binoculars, but they are tough to get and are too large to keep on your vest. These Steiners are arguably the best binoculars I have found for the money and will be on my person whenever I am outside the wire. The clarity is excellent and the brightness is better than I would expect for a compact optic. The specialized coating was designed to make game stand out against foliage but should be effective for spotting IED's, etc. The rubber armoring seems very tough although I am going to try not to drop-test my optics. Overall, I would strongly recommend these binoculars for sportsmen or military professionals as a backup to full-sized military optics.
