Steiner Observer 8x56 Full Size Binoculars
At the heart of the Steiner Observer 8x56 is the renowned STEINER High-Contrast-Optics system. This advanced optical technology provides bright, brilliant views with accurate color reproduction and clear images featuring high contour sharpness. Whether observing at a close range of 2 meters or scanning distant horizons, you will experience a stunning, high-definition, 3D viewing experience with natural color fidelity.
One of the standout features is the Fast-Close-Focus mechanism. The central focusing wheel requires minimal, stepless rotation, allowing you to achieve quick, absolute sharpness from close-up to infinity. This intuitive and comfortable system ensures rapid adjustments, perfect for tracking moving subjects or shifting between various distances effortlessly.
The binoculars are designed with cylindric rotation eyecups made from soft, skin-friendly, and non-aging silicone, providing maximum comfort during extended use. Additionally, the lightweight roof prism design reduces bulk, making it easy to pack and carry without interfering with your observation activities.
Built to withstand the rigors of the outdoors, the Steiner Observer 8x56 features extreme ruggedness with a durable polycarbonate Makrolon housing. This robust construction is complemented by a non-slip NBR-Longlife rubber armor, which resists oil, acid, and adverse weather conditions. The binoculars are fully functional in a temperature range from -15°C to +55°C, ensuring reliability in diverse environments.
Designed for versatile use, the Observer series is tailored to master every situation under all conditions. The nitrogen-filled housing prevents internal fogging, guaranteeing clear vision in all weather conditions. Extensive accessories, including a high-quality bag, neoprene carrying strap, rain protection cover, and lens protection caps, add to the convenience and protection of your binoculars.
With the Steiner Observer 8x56 Full Size Binoculars, you get bright images, razor-sharp resolution, and a large field of view, all in a lightweight, ergonomic design. Experience the perfect blend of performance and affordability, bringing you closer to the wonders of nature with unmatched clarity and detail.
