Steiner binoculars are manufactured in Germany and the Steiner Binocular brand is, like other top German car manufacturers, synonymous with quality workmanship and materials. Steiner Optics was actually founded in 1947 by Karl Steiner and for over 60 years, Steiner have been developing the highest performance binocular optics for military, law enforcement, marine, birdwatching and other serious outdoor use. They have set the standard for quality and innovation and it is the combination of quality German optics, precision manufacturing and rigorous testing, that Steiner offers in my opinion some of the highest quality optical tools in the world.
Steiner innovations include a super tough rubber armouring, nitrogen filling, water pressure proofing to 5 meters and precision crafted Steiner lens coatings. Steiner is also introduced the first ever compass into a binocular. Because of how tough Steiner binoculars are, they have been used by the military, hunters, boaters, hikers, birders, safari guides and outdoor enthusiasts all over the world and many of their binoculars undergo the toughest U.S. Military specification testing.

Steiner Predator Binoculars The main feature of Steiner Predator binoculars are the high contrast predator optics that are said to give wildlife no place to hide, hence the name for this series! Steiner Predator binoculars have special coatings on the lenses that block the colours of haze and foliage, whilst at the same time enhancing the visibility of browns, reds and other wildlife colors. The idea is that this will help you spot hidden wildlife in the bush.
Different models within the series are designed for slightly different uses, the have some designed for the thickest cover to others best suited to hill country, or in low light or sunshine scattered through treetops. The Steiner 8 x 30 and Steiner 10 x 40 Predator Pro models feature Steiner's Sports Auto Focus feature are basically Focus Free Binoculars, sometimes also known as Self Focusing Binoculars, which once they have been set for your eyes, offer incredible depth of field, for sharp images of everything from 20 yards to infinity, with no further adjustment needed.
