Steiner Predator 8x30

This is an excellent binocular, especially for the demo price I paid. They compare favorably with a 40-yr old pair of Zeiss 8x30B Dialyts that have been my benchmark for many years. They are about equal to the Zeiss for brightness and resolution, but are not as sharp close to the edges as the Zeiss. However, the Steiners have noticeably higher contrast. This may be a benefit during dawn/twilight hours out elk hunting.
