Boasting an ergonomic design and compact housing, the Steiner Safari Pro binocular is a pleasure to handle and view for long periods, making it ideal for sporting events, travel, concerts, theater, and wildlife viewing. The Safari Pro is available in three models--8x30, 8x22, and 10x26--with a shape that balances significant power without a corresponding increase in size and weight. Each model includes a robust, water-resistant body and high-quality optics that block glare, haze, and UV light. The resulting comfortable, high-contrast image maintains consistent brightness throughout the morning and afternoon.
The binoculars also include profiled wraparound eyecups to block distracting side light and keep you focused on your subject. For eyeglass wearers, the Safari Pro includes extended eye relief and eyecups that fold down to ensure a full field of view. The Safari Pro models differ in subtle ways as well. The 8x30 features Steiner's automatic focus system, which, once set for your eyes, gives you a sharp, clear view of objects from 20 yards to infinity without further adjustment. The 8x22 and 10x26 binoculars, by contrast, include a large center-focus wheel that focuses quickly on your subject.
Finally, the Safari Pro binoculars fold to a small size, so you can carry them in a jacket pocket or in their own distinctively styled cases.

I bought these 10x26 and a pair of 8x22 Safari Pro binoculars for comparison and ended up returning the 10x26's. The clarity on both is great, but the amount of shake at 10x with a pair of compact binoculars is too much! The 8x model appears sharper and noticeably easier to follow objects, and they're smaller and normally a little less expensive too. Otherwise, if you're set on a pair of 10 power compact binoculars, these are pretty good, although already one of the hinges that hold each tube are getting a bit overly loose, but not so much that they sag on their own weight yet.

I bought the Steiner 235 Safari Pro after having done some research on comparable products. It was supposedly well built. However, less than 3 weeks after using the binoculars on an African game viewing vacation the hinged tubes weakened and would not hold the interpupilary distance. Upon returning from our trip we inquired of Steiner how to handle the repair. We were informed that we had to send it to their repair center in Moorestown, NJ and that the cost would be $18+. What kind of a warranty is that? Three weeks old. We obviously bought a lemon, and now we have to pay to have it repaired.

First thing is the binoculars pictured are not the one's you will get. 444's are the newer sort of "racier" version of the 442's pictured.
My first impression opening the box was, "wow, much lighter than I expected". The optical quality is outstanding by any measure at this price point. Clear, bright, a good field of view, amazing for about $170 actually. Typically you get this optical quality starting around $500-600. The 20mm eye relief makes using them with glasses a non issue, really nice feature. Fit's my hands well and the lightness makes fatique no problem. Attached lens covers and a well thought out case with straps make keeping them with you easy and painless.
I use these mainly for sporting events, at the beach, vacation, etc. The "sports auto-focus" is perfect for this use. Pick up the binoculars and wham, it's there. If however your primary useage is realitively close in bird watching inside the confines of a small to medium yard, say less than 120-150 feet, these are not for you. While you can set the focus in that close anything outside about 100-125 yards will be out of focus and setting the focus takes to long for moving birds and game animals.
When used within their rather large limits, it's tough to beat these Steiners...worth every dime.
