Bright, clear optics/fov as my 7x50c commander - Steiner Predator AF 8x30mm Porro Prism Binoculars

The features in a replacement hunting binocular for my 37 year old 7X50c Commander that I’ve used on nineteen hunting trips were: high durability, high clarity, auto-focus, lighter weight, smaller dimensions. These features were to be sacrificed for the 7X50c Commander’s compass, mil scale and larger field of view (FOV). Upon comparison, the new 8X30 Predator AF FOV and low light clarity seemed as much as my larger binocular.
The smaller dimension and lighter weight permits storage with a range finder in a cover harness that is equal to the weight of the 7X50/harness. Lighter, smaller packages are important attributes highly appreciated by senior hunters during long 13 hour days stalking through rugged terrain.
The 8X30 Predator AF is a cost effective solution for hunters desiring an auto-focus binocular having durable, lightweight, bright/clear prey contrasting view, dimensions fitting within binocular cover chest harness. This binocular exceeded my expectations as a replacement for my old 7X50c Commander.
