Great binos great price - Steiner 10x32 Merlin Pro Waterproof Binoculars for Birdwatching

I bought these for elk and deer hunting. I have always carried compact binos instead of full size (42mm obj and bigger) because of the extra weight and size of full size binoculars. These are a perfect compromise in the 10x32 size. FOV is comparable to most other 42mm obj binoculars, and they are smaller in every dimension, and about a half pound lighter. I LOVE them. They're Steiner so the quality and feel in your hand is exactly what you would expect from this company. Once the diopter is set the clarity and definition is great, and they are great in low light even though Steiner sells them under their professional bird viewing line. Very fast and easy to focus, and the included flip down objective covers are great for hunting as they stay attached to the binocular and wont get easily lost when you open them for use. Great design. the eye cups are also great for blocking unwanted light. great product!
Pros: crystal clear image, easy focus, compact size, nice eyecups
