Steiner Wildlife 10.5x28

These are excellent binoculars. First class optics give a clear and bright image and a wide field of view. Colours are true to life and the images are razor sharp. I have no regrets about my purchase. Currently on holiday in The Hebrides and they are a joy to use - I've seen a couple of otters that I probably would have missed with my old binoculars (which weren't bad, by the way). I had considered Swarovski, Leica, etc., but had fancied Steiner for a while and these are an upgrade to their excellent Discovery model. The price is very good (compare it to UK prices) and delivery from Germany was swift. Not too keen on the "Wildlife" name, but it does what it says on the tin! Very comfortable in use, too, and rugged. I use these for wildlife watching, mainly coastal, and they are perfect for the job. I am very pleased with this purchase.

At this cost I would expect for these binoculars to have both objective lens and eyepiece caps to protect the glass. They have no objective lens cover and a loosely fitting eyepiece cover that falls off. Not impressed.

These light but sharp binoculars are a dream. They will enhance every outing and increase my ability to watch birds.
