Most Helpful Positive Review Awesome set of glass
This was purchased for a search and rescue team and not only the binoculars but also the customer service from Optics Planet are the best in the industry! We have had different binoculars on the team and these by far are the best and clearest yet. I would recommend these to anyone, especially if you...

T1042 Steiner binoculars

by Steve, Verified Owner from WI, United States Written on November 26, 2024
What a deal! These are simply the best I have ever used. Great clarity, nice covers for both ends, the diopter adjustment is just hard enough to not get moved accidentally ( such as by grandkids!). The rubber eye side shield folds down if you don’t like it. Neck strap clips on and off easily. High quality overall.

Excellent low light clarity

by Styx8001, Verified Owner from WY, United States Written on October 14, 2024
I looked at several different pairs of binoculars in the 10x42 category. I finally decided to go with these Steiners. Turned out to be an excellent choice. I love everything about them but most of all the amount of light they collect and clarity in low light situations. Would definitely recommend

Steiner Continues to Impress

by Tim, from PA, United States Written on March 20, 2023
I had purchased the Steiner S35 from Optics Planet (fantastic deal at nearly half off) and really liked the build and performance so when I was upgrading my binos I looked at these Steiners. Excellent quality and such a surprising improvement over my Bushnells. Just fit in my Mystery Ranch 10x bino harness (integrated into my Marshall pack).

It seems to be good bino ..

by Dady, Verified Owner from IL, United States Written on February 15, 2023
It came very fast via UPS/USPS ...It seems very good like I said , I will use it when I hike or at the range . It was very rubber smelly . It has a good and clear view . I like the size and how all works when I set it for my eyes-nice picture . There is NO made in Germany to be seen on the box or bino . I have doubts that it was made as all are made mostly- China , other wise with be a clear specific note -made in Germany , it is not .
I am a bit worry about lasting in time about all those attached caps covers and eye sides wings by oculars .Time will tell . Hope the warranty is like they advertise it .
Also the bag , covers , strap -hope will hold well and not brake in time , all these seems very common China made ..it is what it is .
Again I hope in time will not have issues with this item or its accessories .
In the end : Price ...yes kinda overpriced , again it is what it is .
I hope in time for minor usage will last without issues or warranty needed , I shall see ......
Thank you .
Pros:
  • Good view, cool looking bino , easy to set it .
Cons:
  • Overpriced , lasting in time without issues .
Best Used for:
  • Range , hiking
Would recommend: Yes

Great glass!!

by Agent915, Verified Owner from AL, United States Written on October 30, 2022
I bought these to replace a pair of binoculars that were “borrowed” from me. I decided since I was going to have to buy some new glass, I would step it up a bit. After quite a bit of research I decided to go with the Steiner 10x42’s. Glad I did! They are light weight and crystal clear. If you need a great pair of binoculars, you cannot go wrong with Steiner! In my opinion they are worth every penny, plus OpticsPlanet generally beats everyone else’s price.
Pros:
  • light weight
  • Comforatble
  • Great Clarity
Cons:
  • Expensive
Would recommend: Yes

Outstanding Binoculars

by Mark Twain, from CA, United States Written on July 20, 2019
I bought these about 3 weeks ago and I am very happy I did! The built quality is excellent. After fine tuning the eye relief and diopter/focus setting to my eyes; the optics are bright and clear over the entire field of view. Image quality is exceptional. I tested them in low light conditions where I could not see objects within 100 yards, these binoculars made it possible to see and identify those objects, just amazing! The focusing ring is smooth and fast with perfect clarity. The depth of view is also exceptional. They are very comfortable in the hands. These T1042 binoculars perform exactly as described and what I was expecting from Steiner.
Pros:
  • optical quality and clarity
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Steiner Tactical 10x42 6506

by SDry, from TX, United States Written on January 23, 2016
This is the first pair of high definition binoculars that i have owned. We use these at our deer lease and they are excellent. I am very impressed with the clarity and the ability to focus on a specific object. We were able to clearly see a nub buck around sunrise at 120 yards - something we could not do with our other 10x binoculars.
Pros:
  • excellent clarity even in low light conditions
  • Excellent visibility night and day
  • Excellent focuser
Cons:
  • Eyepice fogged a couple times on very cold mornings, but cleared quickly when moved away from eye.
Best Used for:
  • Hunting/recreation
Would recommend: Yes
