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. Premium optical glass is manufactured at Steiner's state-of-the-art glass production facility in Bayreuth, Germany; New rapid close-focus system with left hand diopter adjustment... designed to give you this perfect balance of speed and precision. Central focus wheel will go from a close focus of less than 6 feet out to infinity in just one full turn. Any less and the focus would be too sensitive and not precise enough; any more and the focus could be too slow. Close focus from 5.9'; Fully waterproof, shockproof, and dry-nitrogen purged and pressurized to be absolutely fogproof in any temperature. With rubber-armored body, they meet and exceed the U.S. government's waterproof / shockproof specification (Mil. Std. 810 E); Field of view (F.O.V.) is 367' @ 1,000 yds. 20 mm eye relief; Comfortable fold-down eye cups, contoured to seal out side light; Weigh 24 ozs. Measure approx. 6 2/5 x 5 x 2 1/4". Outside magazine (in their "Gear of the Year" ratings) said that the Peregrine "is breathtakingly sharp" and that anything they were pointed at, even in low light, "s

 Steiner 8X42 Perigrine Binoculars September 23, 2008
Thomas J. Payette (Kailua-Kona ,HI United States)
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
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.
 Steiner Peregrine Excellent Quality Binoculars August 26, 2006

Steiner Peregrine binoculars have a visually striking design that should strongly appeal to any birder. They are slim and light, and their ribbed rubber armor, black and gold falcon head logo, and soft wrap-around eyecups are very stylish.
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.

These are wonderful binoculars!
Bright, crystal clear images with exceptional color rendition. The colors have to be seen to be believed. The focus is a 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.
The steiner peregrine binoculars are lightweight too. A great purchase for anyone who appreciates excellent quality optics.
