Do these operate in the dark?

Asked by: Gavin
They do a great job of gathering light, with a huge objective lens. So yes, excellent in low light conditions. However, they are not night vision - there needs to be some ambient light.

I have a set of Steiner Military Marine 15x80C Binoculars. When looking through them they appear very cloudy and when looking through the big lens it looks like dust inside. Would this be covered under a warranty? Is it something I could fix easily?.

Asked by: David Sandvik Sr
We'd recommend a good thorough cleaning, but if that doesn't solve the issue: yes, you're under warranty. Fill out a tech support ticket here: https://steiner.supportsync.com/
