Product Description

From the Manufacturer

If you need high performance for faster discovery, especially of birds on the move, take a close look at the new light weight alloy bodied Steiner Merlin. They precise, yet amazingly rugged and also fully waterproofed for even the rainiest days.

The optics are made with premium optical glass and are coated with our own natural color transmission multi-coating which boosts light transmission much higher than similar binoculars in this price range and yields extraordinary clarity, resolution and color fidelity.

Focusing is our unique "Fast-Focus" system which turns from close focus to infinite distance in two full turns of the focus wheel, for razor sharp fine tuning. The focusing is smooth and precise, and it's waterproof.

Since birds are skittish by the presence of bright or light colors, Steiner tried the opposite approach with the exterior finish of the Merlin: the almost transparent neutral color on the Merlin is a unique earth tone brown; chosen by Steiner's development staff and birders as a color least noticeable to birds.

The Merlin 8 x 24 is a handsome new compact that will amaze with its optical performance and excellent feel. Features include a new alloy body, long eye relief and phase corrected roof prisms. Waterproof and shockproof construction. Encased in the attractive Merlin earthly rubber armor and finished with the Steiner Falcon seal.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Steiner 8x24 Merlin Binocular (Electronics)
I was disappointed with these bought them as a Christmas present.

Not as sharp as I hoped. I have a cheap pair of Bushnell 7X35 WA that are much sharper. I would not recommend these
