Steiner 10x42 Peregrine Binocular

Steiner Peregrine 10 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 7 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.
