Peregrine 8x42 is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 2.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Peregrine 8x42 I use these Binoculars and a pair of canon 12x36 is 3 just for peregrine falcon watching here in Gibraltar. I have a few ED binoculars such as the Celestron granite 7x33 which are very good but has a warm tone to the image so you don’t see the the true colors of the subject plus they have image softness. The Peregrines produce exact color reproduction of the subject you are viewing, although not ED the image to me is Sharper and has edge to edge clarity and sharpness which to me is far more important than ED and having Outer softness on the lens. Not a lot of binoculars give edge to edge sharpness you have to pay top dollar, not with these that is why I ham so happy with them. I hope Steiner make this binocular in the next 5.0 edition the ultimate bird Bino ever. Every time I look through these the image is perfect

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best glass yet I went hunting with a buddy of mine who owns a pair of the 8x42. Using those we spotted, got on and had two success hunts. We would never have had the success we did. I have two pairs of binoculars from other companies and I went I got of pair of these when I saw how good his were. Low light, over cast sky, snow, it didn’t matter. These glasses out preformed anything I’ve seen before.

Will a harness strap connect to my peregrine 8.5x50? If so where can I purchase them ?  Love them but the quick clips keep falling out 

Asked by: Tapp
The harness will attach to the click locks and they will attach to the binoculars.

Do they still employ the “click-in” strap connector or has Steiner moved to a more universal connection?  If changed, what model year was the first with universal strap connectors?

Asked by: WooBirder
The Peregrines feature the click-lock attachments.

I bought a used Peregrine carrying the number0749967. Could you please tell me when it was manufactured?

Asked by: Manuel
Hello, That would indicate they were made in 2004.
