If you need fast identification, the Discovery‘s Fast-Close-Focus comes into its own. A small movement of the focussing wheel is all that‘s needed to make everything sharp and recognisable down to the last detail. There is no longer any complicated focussing and turning.     STEINER Discovery 10x44 With its new Comfort Balance System you'll experience a new dimension in handling and comfort. The open and extremely rugged design allows secure handling at all times even in situations where only one hand is being used, leaving the other free for making notes whilst watching. Identify what you‘re looking at quickly, easily and comfortably with the Discovery 10x44.    Exit pupil   Field of view/1000 m   Luminosity   Twilight factor   Weight (g)   Height (mm)   Item No.   4.4   110   19.36   20.98   854  188  8102    High-Definition XP-Optics: STEINER developed these remarkable optics, using the purest index matched glass, and coatings using rare-earth formulations of titanium, fl uorite and other mineral substrates. The result is fi rst-class light transmission, brightness and optimal contrast. The Discovery‘s roof prism system contains a specially developed dielectric mirror with a vapour-deposited phase correction coating. This high-tech phase correction gives exact resolution of detail and true colours. It also refl ects up to 99% of incoming light. In addition, the dielectric mirrors prevent aging of the coating. Aging also means that there is a loss of light transmission after some time. The contours of these optics are always sharp and distinctly visible, even in poor light or at the onset of dusk. Fast-Close-Focus:  A small adjustment of the focussing wheel with your fi ngers is all that‘s needed to recognise details of the bird quickly and with absolute sharpness. The Discovery’s Fast- Close-Focus completely does away with the need for clumsy and timeintensive turning of the focussing wheel. With a close focus range of two metres, the Discovery provides extremely comfortable handling with perfect focussing in an unbelievably short time. Nitrogen pressure system:  Fogging up or the formation of condensation inside the binoculars is totally prevented by this hightech solution. Even temperature variations between -40° and +80°C do not have any adverse effects on the functionality of STEINER nitrogen-fi lled binoculars. The unique 2-way-valve technology makes inspection possible even after a number of years. Your binoculars are always ready for action even under the most extreme conditions. Optical quality and precision are maintained for decades. Water-pressure proof to 5m:  The Discovery range is waterproof even up to a depth of five metres. This is made possible by special sealing technologies. No dust, no dirt and no humidity can penetrate into the binoculars. Twist-up eyecups:  The novel Twist-up Eyecups offer optimum protection against incidental light from the side. They don‘t just block troublesome refl ections; they ensure an extremely bright image. The three positions of the eyecups offer an ergonomic, a classic cylindrical and a position for people wearing glasses. If the eyecups do not fi t exactly to your eyes, they can be adjusted as desired by the eyecup fine adjustment mechanism. Dual precision setting: The Discovery delivers sharper images than any other binoculars thanks to its Dual Precision Setting. No other birding binoculars allow you to focus both eyes independently of each other. It‘s done directly at the ocular, and thus a perfect image is created for each eye. The Dual Precision Setting allows massive differences in dioptre strength on each eye to be compensated for. Simply set the dioptre strength for each eye and you will always see sharply without having to readjust. Those without vision impairment simply set the control to “0”. Distance control system:  The Distance Control System guarantees fast and easy recognition of birds. Focussing takes place before you hold the Discovery up for viewing. When observing, the distance to the bird it can be read off in the binoculars at any time. If desired you can preset the distance even before you start looking at the bird. This gives you more valuable time for identification. STEINER Nano-Protection®:  Unsurpassed clear vision is offered by the proven STEINER Nano- Protection®. It provides the lenses with a dirt and water resistant surface, protecting them against aggressive environmental effects. Rain, snow and moisture are eliminated from your view. Cleaning is considerably simplifi ed and hard-to-remove dirt becomes a thing of the past. The ultra-thin hydrophobic surface treatment on the objective and ocular lenses is extremely robust and ensures that your binoculars will deliver high-contrast brilliant images across the decades. Extreme ruggedness: Under the outer armouring hides a high-tech, lightweight, high pressure, cast magnesium alloy chassis that delivers unrivalled stability. This material makes the housing even more shockproof and thus much more rugged. At the same time it keeps the weight down and enables compact construction. With this sturdy construction, your binoculars will master the toughest action. NBR-longlife rubber armouring: This chemical formula is not only robust, it also gives you a very good grip, in cold, heat, sea water and the sun‘s rays. For a perfect grip, the rubber composite should be soft and non-slip, but on the other hand, the harder it is, the more durable it will be. The NBR-Longlife rubber composite is a perfect solution that makes the Discovery a pleasure to hold. It is resistant against oil, acid and bird droppings. A rubber armouring that is at the same time soft, non-slip and shockproof. Softgrips: Steiners novel Softgrips for your thumbs ideally combine comfort with a fi rm grip on the binoculars. The lightweight and comfortable feel eliminates pressure points, particularly if you are observing for longer periods, for example when carrying out a bird population census. At the same time, they give the Discovery excellent balance. ClicLoc strap attechement: With this carefully thought-out STEINER strap attachment, your binoculars always remain fi rmly attached to the strap! The ClicLoc strap attachment system makes removal quick, in one easy movement. Special high quality bag: Each Discovery bino comes with a high-quality bag. Custom-designed the brand-new Bags are manufactured to seal out dust, dirt and moisture, with extra-strong material to offer the toughest protection for your high-performance optics. Standard accessories: The Discovery is delivered with a soft carrying case and has a wide range of standard accessories such as a neoprene rain protection cap, objective covers and carrying straps. The comfortable carrying strap is extra-wide and has a coating that is kind to your skin. It is non-slip and padded. This special attention to comfort means that you can easily carry the binoculars for a long period. The accompanying neoprene rain protection cover is completely waterproof and prevents contamination by rain or dust. Your binoculars are therefore always at the ready and the valuable optics are protected when carrying them due to the shock-absorbing effect of the neoprene. For observation, simply unclip the fastener stud, slip off the neoprene cover and let it hang down on the other side of the carrying strap. Check out my other items!
