I should have put the model in, they ( 10x26 ) are called (Wildlife) They have a new feature,Fast close focus system.I compared them with Leicia 10x compact for example and they were well and truly up with them but less $'s. Other American brands (compact) 10x ) just didn't come on as sharp,true colour,almost three D clearity.

Compacts don't suit everyone but those that do favour them do so for a reason one way or another,these are my choice and like I say,this thread is all about Steiner.

ps I guess Bino's can be a little like woman,you can clearly see through some but not other's.
