If you need high performance for faster discovery, especially of birds on the move, take a close look at the new light weight alloy bodied Steiner Merlin. They precise, yet amazingly rugged and also fully waterproofed for even the rainiest days. The optics are made with premium optical glass and are coated with our own natural color transmission multi-coating which boosts light transmission much higher than similar binoculars in this price range and yields extraordinary clarity, resolution and color fidelity.
Focusing is the unique "Fast-Focus" system which turns from close focus to infinite distance in two full turns of the focus wheel, for razor sharp fine tuning. The focusing is smooth and precise, and it's waterproof. Since birds are skittish by the presence of bright or light colors, Steiner tried the opposite approach with the exterior finish of the Merlin: 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 Merlin 10 x 50 is a new Merlin binocular featuring compact design yet boasting 50 millimeter objective lenses. Phase corrected roof prisms and Steiner's fully multi-coated optics offer exceptional brightness and perfect color rendition. Waterproof, shockproof. Very long eye relief, and of course the comfortable rubber armored body that are a favorite in feel and comfort among active users.
