Great value

Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2024

I have several Stiener binoculars for boating. I purchased these for my wife's birdwatching and kayaking. Very light and very sharp, easy focusing. Great value for real quality optics. Great compact binoculars for way more than just birdwatching!

Quality materials, POOR execution!

Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2015

I bought these last June and I've literally used them 5 days a week since. Believe me; I've come to regret my purchase, many times. I had a compact binocular made by Nikon for more than 20 years, but my car was burglarized in Phoenix and they were stolen. I replaced the stolen binocular with another Nikon; of course, they cost more than double the original price. The new Nikon were lacking in every respect, so, I replaced those with the Steiner model 2212. The left monocular is perfectly clear, even at the edges and it has a good depth of field at all distances. Unfortunately, the right monocular is VERY, VERY, VERY BAD. The right monocular is only clear in the center and the depth of field from 10 yards to 300 yards is incredibly shallow, a matter of inches. I must focus the left monocular to match the right monocular at infinity. If I match the focus at any other distance, they will only be in sync, at that distance. After matching the focus of each monocular they do not remain in sync. If I go from 25 yards to 50 yards and back to 25 yards, I must then return to infinity and match the focus of the left and right monocular again. For the price of $180.00 this binocular should work better than a binocular costing far less. I would not make this purchase again. I have, in fact, replaced these with the Hawke Frontier PC 10x25.

Small and compact, they feel like a bigger pair of binoculars than they are given the excellent optics and clarity.

I ordered these whileon vacation in Hawaii for some whale watching. I had forgotton mine at home. They were as described; light, comfortable fit on the eyes, easy focus and very nice optics. I was happy I had left mine at home. These are just what I was looking for in this price range. Good quality and good value.

Only one issue, Shouldn't such a nice product come with lens caps? I received this NIB, and am the first to break the factory seal. Came with a nice case, cleaning cloth, and manual though.

Light weight, smooth adjustments, great sharp image, great value. And not made in that C word country not to memtion the great warranty. Love these glasses. For bow hunting tho i need an 8x set so guess what, I'll order myself a set of those as well.
Love Steiner and i will stay with them. I have a set of Zeiss that are great but the rubber eye cups dry rotted off and its a bear trying to communicate with them. They were suppose to send me some replacements but that never happened. Bye bye Ziess, hello Steiner.

They have the quality you would expect from Steiner. Great for traveling with a minimal amount of gear.

Thank goodness for Steiner's warranty

Style: 10x26Pattern: BinocularsVerified Purchase

I purchased these Steiner Safari 10x26 Ultrasharp compact binoculars from Amazon back in 2022. They never worked correctly from day one. It appears that the center hinge that keeps the binoculars open when holding them up to your eyes is either broken or missing. I'm turn, you would have to use both hands to use them, hence, defeating the purpose and usefulness of them being compact. I put them in a closet and forgot about them. Recently I pulled them out and read up on Steiner's lifetime Heritage Warranty. No receipt needed, just the serial number, which is on the binoculars. I filed a claim less than 48 hours ago, and received a prepaid shipping label in my email this morning. Going to return them now (I requested repair or replacement).
Will update this review with outcome when I get repaired (or replacement) binoculars back.

Great compact binoculars.

Love these binoculars. They’re great for travel. The only downside is the body of the binoculars scratch very easily. I laid them down gently on a concrete patio and when I picked them up they were scratched. Not sure what they’re coated with; however, beware!
