Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The optics of the Peregrine measure higher in spectral light transmission across the entire visible light range, on average, than all of our other closest performance competitors. This means you see colors more vibrantly and you can discover and identify species in more difficult settings and situations.
The optical glass is manufactured at our new state-of-the-art roof prism glass production facility in Bayreuth, Germany.

Focusing
The focus is our rapid close-focus system with left hand diopter adjustment. The precise central focus wheel will go from a close focus of less than 6 feet out to infinity in just one full turn. Any less - the focus would be to sensitive and not precise enough. Any more – the focus could be too slow. The focus of the Peregrine was designed to give you this perfect balance of speed and precision.
Shockproof/Waterproof
We're not just saying it, we practically invented it! As you may already know, Steiner has been in the binocular business for over 55 years now, and has developed numerous innovations which makes binoculars last longer in unfriendly conditions. Early on, we pioneered the use of rubber armoring, and most recently we developed a dry nitrogen purging and pressurization system that absolutely prevents binoculars from fogging internally. We built this purging/pressurized dry nitrogen system into the Peregrine binoculars. They meet and exceed the US government's waterproof /shockproof specification (Mil Std 810 E).
Product Description
Steiner Peregrine 8 x 42 mm Binoculars... vibrant color, superb brightness and the precision to catch fast-moving birds and wildlife! The Steiner Peregrine Binocular Series sets new records in light transmission... allowing faster discovery of animals and birds hidden in foliage or shadows, and delivering views with true colors and bright contrast. This new level of brightness and natural color balance is achieved by use of a new dielectric prism coating, by which over 40 layers of titanium oxide and other rare minerals are alternately applied to the glass surfaces. This Broad-Band Coating (BBC) results in superior light transmission performance over a broad range of colors. The optics are also phase corrected for sharpest possible, distortion-free images. The optics of the Peregrine measure higher in light transmission across the entire visible light range, on average, than all closest performance competitors.

Steiner Peregrine Excellent Quality Binoculars,
By In my opinion these binoculars were particularly bright, clear, and showed strikingly vivid colors. The 8x have 367-foot field of view at 1000 yards. Because they are so light they cause very little fatigue, even after a long day in the field. Their slender barrels make them very easy to handle and a likely favorite for birders, especially those with smaller hands. The rubber armor has raised molded thumb rests. They come with a nice, padded, heavy cordura case and a padded strap that has snap-in connections to attach to the sides of the barrels for easy removal.

Steiner 8X42 Perigrine Binoculars,

This review is from: Steiner 8x42 Peregrine Binocular (Electronics)
Excellent optics at a good price but terribly flawed in a minor but important way. The eye cups almost immediately fray at the crease and tear if used by glasses wearers and non glasses wearers. I have been though four pairs that I received free and all are useless. How disappointing. How hard can it be to deal with this bad product design problem? It is impossible to contact Steiner Co. in Germany you can only reach distributors. They just pretend to be amazed that there is a problem.

Excellent binoculars!,
This review is from: Steiner 8x42 Peregrine Binocular (Electronics)
Last month I purchased a pair of these binoculars and I have been very impressed. They are spectacular! You get what you pay for. (If you look around, you can find these for less than half of their retail price.) While these cost a little more, several things make these worth the money. 1) They are crystal clear. These Steiner 8x42's easily outperform my bushnell 12x50's (as they should). You don't need the extra maginification and size when you have this level of clarity. I have a pair of 8x Nikon Travelites as well (also good binocular) but these Steiners are much clearer. 2) The color integrity is perfect. My wife is excited to use these for birding because they do not wash out the colors like a low to mid level binocular will. 3) They are exceptional in low light situations. I use these for hunting and they are able to grab alot of light at dawn, dusk, on cloudy days and in shadows (like looking from a sunny meadow into the shaded timber). 4) They are easy on the eyes. These do not hurt my eyes or give me headaches. Some lower quality binoculars will strain your eyes if you look through them for more than like 30 seconds. With these, your eyes don't have to work as hard so you can look through them for long periods of time without the eye strain.In a sentance, these binoculars increase your viewing potential, they have allowed me to see what I could not see before. I highly recommend them!
