 NOT REALLY GOOD AT ALL FOR BIRD WATCHING. February 13, 2008
Peter L. Anderson (Orem, Utah)

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.
 Small mismatch in power vs. objective diameter February 13, 2008

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.
 Quality for a great price January 1, 2007

Ordered a pair for my wife for Christmas and found them to be top quality, just what you would expect from German made Binoculars.

I was searching for good quality compact binocular for general purpose viewing. For my need, this binocular fit the bill perfectly. A reviewer was critical of the light gathering and viewing field (10x26) but honestly, if you are that demanding in quality then this binocular is not the right kind in the first place. Secondly, the binocular will cost more and be bigger in size.
This binocular has nice solid feel and I believe a casual user will be more than happy using it. It will not win in light gathering and viewing field but offer solid bang for the buck value. Compact size means you will be more likely to take it along on trips and use it when the need arise.

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.
