Steiner Peregrine Binoculars 10x42 The Steiner 10x42 Peregrine Binoculars gives you Power plus the superb color transmission. This is one of the brightest 10 power roof prism binoculars available. Recommended mostly for distance glassing in mountains, prairies or across bean fields. The Peregrine will also allow you unbelievable close-in viewing, since the focus goes very close.
Steiner-Germany has developed the new Peregrine binocular, a new record in light transmission that allows faster discovery and location of wildlife hidden in foliage or shadows.
The Peregrine binoculars will allow you to penetrate darkness better than any other roof-prism binocular. With their compact shape, you’ll be able to take them anywhere and discover wildlife that will otherwise have gone unnoticed.
The Optics
With Steiner’s new Peregrine, a new level of brightness and natural color balance is achieved by use of a new dielectric prism coating, by which over 40 layers of titanium oxide and other rare minerals are alternately applied to the glass surfaces. This Broad-Band Coating (BBC) results in superior light transmission performance over a broad range of colors. The Peregrine is also phase corrected for sharpest possible, distortion free images.
The optics of the Peregrine measure higher in spectral light transmission across the entire visible light range, on average, than all of our other closest performance competitors. This means you see colors more vibrantly and you can discover and identify species in more difficult settings and situations.
The optical glass is manufactured at our new state-of-the-art roof prism glass production facility in Bayreuth, Germany.
Focusing
The focus is Steiner's rapid close-focus system with left hand diopter adjustment. The precise central focus wheel will go from a close focus of less than 6 feet out to infinity in just one full turn. Any less - the focus would be to sensitive and not precise enough. Any more – the focus could be too slow. The focus of the Peregrine was designed to give you this perfect balance of speed and precision.
Shockproof/Waterproof
Steiner is not just saying it, they practically invented it! As you may already know, Steiner has been in the binocular business for over 55 years now, and has developed numerous innovations which makes binoculars last longer in unfriendly conditions. Early on, they pioneered the use of rubber armoring, and most recently they developed a dry nitrogen purging and pressurization system that absolutely prevents binoculars from fogging internally. Steiner built this purging/pressurized dry nitrogen system into the Peregrine binoculars. They meet and exceed the US government’s waterproof /shockproof specification (Mil Std 810 E).
