Thread: Steiner binos, how do they rate.

I've always like porro prisms in general since you get good optics but more bulk - Steiner one of the few makers of high quality porro. Their lower lines like the 8x30 Military Marine as still made in Germany but NOT nitrogen filled, but most people seem happy with them as far as fog proofness.

I've never looked through a set and always wondered how my "older" eyes work with the fixed focus system. I wear glasses and normally for binos I just flip up my glasses as I find that much more comfortable.... In the end I just went with a standard Nikon Monarch M7 8x30 (the latest model about $480 USD, but they're below the Nikon HG which are double the price of M7!).

They did very extensive tests across a whole bunch of people and at the different price points, so you can find the one that suits your budget... not everyone wants to put the money down for the Swarovski NL Pure for $3000 USD!!
