Steiner Safari UltraSharp 10 x 26 Binoculars, Compact, Large Magnification, Robust, Waterproof, Ideal for Travel, Hiking, Concerts, Sports and Nature Observation

This is just perfect for lightweight travel and I lived this item!!

I spend time looking at wildlife in the Monterey Bay/Big Sur area and I decided I needed a decent pair of lightweight binoculars. Wow. These are amazing - super light and easy to focus in to accommodate my astigmatism in one eye. Such clarity and wonderful bokeh. I can't imagine using any other binoculars. Definitely worth the premium price.

Very clear vision, light weight and perfect for travel. Just back from the Cinque Terre and this model Steiner did the job. While on the ferry going from village to village we could clearly see - in sharp detail the shoreline and the villages. Standing on the ground looking up at the Tower of Pisa...clear as a bell with excellent detail. No prism edging just clear vision. No stabilizer nor auto focus just a simple good pair of light weight 10x26 binoculars. Our goal was to keep the bulk and weight down in our shoulder / tote bag. If you plan to study objects through a pair of binoculars for an extended period of time these are not for you. If you want an inexpensive no frills travel binocular with good optics this model is a good choice. I read many reviews on Amazon before the purchase. We did not notice any of the "Cons" listed in some of the reviews. That said, those reviewers seemed to desire higher end binoculars for advanced viewing. I've used the $1K and up optics and wow those are amazing but to heavy and way too much risk for travel.

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.

I have several pairs of binoculars, but upon realizing that I needed the convenience of a more compact pair, I did a lot of research and testing before choosing these 10x26 Steiner Safari binoculars. My other binoculars are 6x30, 8x30 and 10x50 in porro prism form.This is my first pair of roof prism binoculars. They are easy to adjust, eyeglass friendly and feel sturdy in hand.I am very pleased with these Steiners. They provide great clarity at all the various distances which I have used them for. From bird watching or attending a recent ZZ Top concert, (in the nosebleed seats) the smaller size allows one to carry them everywhere without it being quite obvious to the public that you are a binocular geek.Tuck them in a pocket or bag and no one will know that with your 10x26 binoculars you can see really far away things up close...kind of like having super hero powers...only different.

I suppose you could say that I’ve been a “binocular-aholic”; I’ve owned a dozen different types and brands. My goal has been two-fold. First to have them be small enough (and rugged enough) to have them with me most of the time when I’m out. Second, I need them to be strong (and clear enough!) so that I can see the DETAILS of wildlife, or a boat, or a group of people in the distance. I even tried the Leica version once, seeking their high quality optics. But, alas, they had to be sent back: too fragile! On the other hand, these Steiner glasses (for about a hundred bucks), are STRONG, SMALL, and RUGGED! I am very happy with them.

Bought these to replace the identical ones we had for years and left behind on a trip.Very good value, compact, easy to use.

. . . I’m keeping them myself. Bought myself the Nikon Trail Blazer’s & the Steiner’s for my wife. Needed small ultra lights for an Africa trip next year. I’m a Nikon fan boy & I gotta tell you I sent the Nikons back. These Steiner’s had more precise focus fixed well designed eye cups. The Nikons were the twist out type too loose to hold position. The eye relief on the Steiner’s much better. I may let her use my, er her, new Steiner mini’s.
