Steiner Marine with floatation strap.......2007-10-17
Very high quality product. It really brightens up the scene in
daylight and low light conditions. For those that don't know 7X50mm
is the preferred configuration for boating. You get a large field of
view which is important when you are on a moving/rocking boat. I find
the 7X magnification fine. I use these on my Jetski as an aid to
my GPS when out exploring in Florida waters. The waterproofing is
great and the rubber armor is superb. A great value, worth the price.

ALL I CAN SAY IS, WOW!! THE PRICE, WOW!! THE QUALITY, WOW!! WOW!! WOW!!
Great German optics for the price!.......2007-07-04
The Steiner Marine 7x50 binoculars have met my (admittedly high) expectations. The Sports Auto-Focus is great -- even better on my Marine pair than the Predator models that I looked at in Academy Sports. It makes changing from viewing one object to another fast and easy. They are very clear too. With the focus set at the closest range I can read the buttons on my microwave from across my small trailer. Using them out of doors the foliage really pops out (even when overcast). In almost complete darkness they enable one to see things the naked eye cannot. I have used them at night when I could barely see to walk around. The view through the binoculars was hardly affected at all. Once I used them to look from my parent's back yard, across the (six-lane) interstate, into the parking lot of the local community college at night. I could see the bugs playing around the streetlights!
I hadn't seen this particular pair in person, so they surprised me with their light weight -- some people had called them heavy online. They must be very frail people. This pair is much, much lighter than the Sears brand ones my parents got me 15+ years ago that are smaller. Compared to all steel binoculars the Steiners hardly weigh anything. They are not so light that image-shake is a problem however. The weight combined with the 7 magnification makes for an easily stabilized view.
One other thing of note is the 22mm of eye relief. That is a very helpful feature to me since I wear eyeglasses. Other binoculars with less eye relief have been problematic for me -- even ones with 19mm eye relief made by Steiner. Of course, for those who do not wear glasses, the rubber eye-cups can be folded out to reduce the amount of eye relief. In that mode people with normal vision do not seem to have any problem with them.
So far I am pleased with the binoculars in every detail but one. The strap sucks. It is way too thin, and I could imagine that after a day in the field the binoculars would really dig into one's shoulders with the supplied strap. What is a little odd is that the case that came with them is rather nice and has a comfortable, wide strap attached to it... The package also came with a little cleaning cloth, which was kind of a nice touch.
For the price, $260 through Amazon with free shipping, I think the Steiner Marine 7x50 model is fantastic. It would certainly be hard to beat the performance in that price range!
excellent low light performance.......2006-09-29
I have the 7x50 Steiner Ralleye model, which appears to be identical to the Marine version. It is built like a tank and gives you a lot of confidence that it will hold up to abuse. In low light and night conditions this is an excellent performer. If you are using this is an area with a lot ambient light (such as a town) or moonlight, it will really bring a lot of detail out of the shadows and is a better choice by far then night vison equipment costing hundreds more. The 7x magnification is also a nice choice for avoiding lense shake. (I also have a pair of 9x40 Steiners, and that move from 7x-9x power is noticeable.) The 7x50 also allows you to better follow moving targets. The sport auto focus system works very well and the optics are excellent.
Product Description
Guaranteed waterproof, a new more compact design, and with the brightness you'd expect from Steiner 7 x 50 optics, the Navigator model is everything you'd want in a lightweight, marine binocular. Like all marine binoculars, Navigators feature Steiner's Sports Auto Focus system that, once set for your eyes, puts everything from 20 yards to infinity into sharp, clear focus, with no further adjustment. In the cockpit or on the dock, you won't miss a thing with Steiner Navigator.
Product Description
Add the "on-demand" compass to the 7 x 50 Navigator, and you've got an ideal lightweight navigation binocular, one that will perform well in all navigational or watch situations. The illuminated "on-demand" compass is seen only when electronically activated. Now, there's a reticle in the field of view, giving you range information if you need it, making it the perfect marine binocular, for navigating when aboard, and exploring or viewing wildlife when ashore.
Amazon.com Product Description
Steiner's smart looking and compact 7 x 50 Navigator II binoculars are designed to help sailors, boaters, and hikers find their way. In addition to high magnification optics and a slim, waterproof body, the Navigator II has a built-in electronic compass that allows you to establish headings while continually scanning the horizon for markers and potential hazards.
These binoculars are extremely compact, thanks to the slim Steiner compass glass. This allows you the same full-featured performance as many other models, but with considerably less weight. The built-in, "on-demand" compass is only visible when the compass button has been electronically activated. Even better, there's no reticle in your field of view, just a pointer that you place beneath your mark or point of reference. The compass light illuminates so it is easy-to-read at night, and is powered by a long-lasting lithium battery. The Navigator II binoculars are ideal for a multitude of uses, including navigating, exploring, and viewing wildlife. These binoculars are protected with a 10-year limited warranty.

Customer Reviews:
Great binocular for all around use.......2006-08-18
I've used the military version of these extensively while in the US Marines. They were great when set up in a stationary position, such as a rooftop or bunker, where you needed to observe for extended periods of time. I bought the Military/Marine model recently for boating, camping, and backyard astronomy. They are a little bit too big to take on day hikes, but I wouldn't hesitate to take them on an overnight camping trip where I'd be carrying a large pack. Overall low-light performance is excellent, and the only difference I can see between these and the Military R model is the lack of reticle.
This is a great pair of binoculars for the car, boat, or camping.
