Don't buy these steiner's - Steiner HX 15x56 Roof Prism Binocular

I've been a Steiner fan for 20 years, but I recommend you stay away from this cheap junk. Unfortunately, I bought two pair for Christmas and was very disappointed in both. The glass is okay for the price, but the center-focus's on both were sticky; resistance followed by skipping, often past the focal point. Finding the proper focal point can take multiple back-n-forth tries, which is frustrating for $1,000 binoculars. Both were returned twice, but Steiner couldn't find anything wrong. I informed them that I have a cheap pair of Vangard's and a medium-priced pair of Meopta's that are infinitely better than the Steiner's.
