steiner marine binoculars - optics the easy way

Often, manufacturers try to accomplish being inexpensive and being lightweight at the same time. Raise binoculars to your eyes and you can see everything far away as if it was right in front of you.

I originally purchased the Monarch 10x50's for bird-watching and long range mountain scanning in Arizona, however, I found the extra sharpness of the 8X resolution meant that I didn't need the larger 10X magnification, because they had such excellent detail. The result is appreciable for many people considering the easier mobility and simpler operation of the binocular equipment. Binoculars come in the convenient hand-held sizes which make them very easy to take with you wherever you go.

Folding in the eyepiece between observations will protect the eyepiece against scratches or other inadvertent damage. Size is dictated by the objective lens.

Each coating is designed to provide the maximum transmission of light through the lens, and minimum reflection and diffraction, resulting in a brighter, clearer picture than with standard non-coated lens models. But you d better make sure that they have the proper range, power and clarity. Some binoculars come with special fire coating on the lenses.

Ideally, you are going to lug these babies around for 10 or 20 years, so get a good pair. Nevertheless, the capabilities of binoculars appeal to both groups as they choose equipment that best fits their needs.
