10x42 Peregrine - Higher power than the 8x42 Peregrine but otherwise identical in shape and weight. 10 power offers excellent resolution especially in low light and in shadows at greater distances. Steiner's birding binoculars the Merlin and Peregrine series have optics that transmit the most natural colors and the best low light performance in the optics industry. We mean natural colors so you will be able to make discoveries of new species faster and easier. Of course optimum brightness is absolutely necessary when you glass in the shade under branches or in the shadows of twilight.

Steiner-Germany specializes in making lenses for specific applications: For example lenses for hunters that transmit the color of game animals and hold the color of green foliage back. Lenses for birders that transmit the most natural colors and reveal the slightest color differences across the whole range of bird colors. Lenses for boaters that cut out glare on the water and Nighthunter lenses that let military see at night without the use of electronics. Steiner-Germany is the leading specialized binocular manufacturer.

Steiner only makes binoculars and is the only true binocular specialist today. Our optics and binoculars are produced in our modern factory in Bayreuth in northeastern Bavaria Germany.

Steiner-Germany has developed the new Peregrine binocular a new record in light transmission that allows faster discovery and location of birds hidden in foliage or shadows.

Since birds are often visible for only a few seconds seeing their true colors in bright contrast and clearly identifying the most subtle color differences is extremely important.
