Steiner 8x42 Merlin Birding Binoculars

Some birds are skittish by the presence of bright or light colors,so Steiner tried the opposite approach with the exterior finish of the Merlin series binoculars - the almost transparent neutral color on the Merlin is a unique earth tone brown,chosen by Steiner's development staff and birders as a color least noticeable to birds. The Steiner 8x42 Merlin binoculars feature the best brightness and widest field of view of the Merlin Series. This is the best all around size and model for most all birding applications. The brightness and field of view have many benefits,especially in lower light or following birds in flight. The Steiner 8x42 Merlin binoculars feature fully multi-coated optics to assure optimal brightness in low light situations. Rubber armored exterior makes the Steiner 8x42 Merlin very durable and provides an extremely comfortable grip. The rugged armoring also makes them silent for up-close glassing or stalking. Lightweight,waterproof,fogproof and shockproof,these binoculars are an invaluable addition to any birder's arsenal.
