Steiner 7x50 Commander Binocular

On the one hand the new Steiner Commander 7x50 is a really good piece of equipment which will be a joy to use. It won’t slip out of even bigger hands and the profiled eyecups will enhance the observation comfort significantly.

  slightly vignetting prisms,, a bit too light area near exit pupils,, traces of dried-up water (?) on one of the prisms.

We bought the 7 x 50 mostly for use on our boat for whale watching. In the one outing we had since purchase I found them to be amazing. Excited to use them again this week.
