Is the porro prism used on these binoculars? I don't see an mention in the listing.

Yes, this is a porro design. The telltale sign is that the axis of the objectives (front lenses) and of the eyepieces don't line up. Under $100, porros can give more contrast..that is, less haze or glare, richer colors. While roofs are catching up, one thing special to porros is the wide spread up front, and that gives them a much stronger '3D' effect.

I have no idea, I purchased them for a Christmas gift for someone else, I never used them.

To my knowledge it works with all binoculars. I have Nikon Monarch's and it works great.

Yes, that is advisable. They are powerful binoculars and very difficult to hold still. Therefore, what you see jumps around so the power is offset by a blurry image.

I am sorry Thomas, I do not know the answer to your question. As a side note, I must correct my previous statement regarding the Celestron Skymaster binoculars I purchased. I stated that they didn't open wide enough to be able to view properly through both eyes. I was WRONG! I discovered that they in fact do operate properly, and I am very happy with them. I will say that I should have purchased the tripod stand that was offered with them at the time. All the best, Jim M.

Yes - the larger end has end caps that attach directly to the binoculars, and the smaller end has end caps that connect to the strap. I really like the design - they are handy easy to use and yet won't get lost.

Unfortunately, the binoculars do not come with a native attachment point that can be used with a tripod or a monopod. A quick Google search reveals that the Orion Mounting Bracket could be used to hold the binoculars... admittedly, I have not used such bracket and therefore cannot testify to its usefulness.

Sorry, that I can't answer. These binoculars fit me fine and I know of several other people that have them.

The objective (front) lens have attached lens caps that snap on and then hang down when you are using the binoculars. They work very well. The eye pieces have a molded cover that fits over both and hangs from one of the straps. It is O.K. but a little inconvenient.

Try it and if not return it . I have one and works with several types of binoculars with a thread.

Great! In fact if you need corrective lenses--you should have them on when you use these binoculars for viewing. The salesman at Bushnell Outlet described these as multi-person grab and go binoculars--no real adjustments needed. He said many binoculars are really single person use as you do intricate focusing for your particular vision and magnification, ie, as with birding. With sports--you need to see something quickly and don't want to spend time focusing. My husband and I love them and switch back and forth and I wear glasses and he does not.

Yes you are correct.. I have these exact binoculars ( and love them ) .. I purchased the : B + W 58mm MC (Multi Resistant Coating) Clear Glass Protection Filter, #007 ... and they fit Perfectly.. There are cheaper ones out there that dont thread onto the objective lens as perecissionly as these "german made" ones do.

I'm sorry but the binoculars were a gift for my special needs grandchild who has hidden them in her room. I guess she likes them but I have no details. I can say they are sturdy cuz she has not destroyed them.

I have these binoculars, they are terrific and exceptional value. I also bought the tripod bracket which works, but not perfectly. The bracket is fairly thick and it prevents the binoculars from closing tightly so if your eyes are fairly close together, you can have trouble with them.

Hi Dustin,In short, yes. The adapter helped me choose my PCF-WP II so I could mount them for some easy astronomy outings with young children. They are also used for general use often near water so wanted a sealed binocular.

For the price I think that they are good binoculars... and if you do use them during the day the ocular cups are a real plus. All that being said, I did return the pair that I purchased and bought a pair of Swarovski EL Range's which are close to 6 times the price of the Steiners because I am very particular about my optics. Needless to say there is a difference in the clarity between the two but for causal use probably not worth plunking down the extra money. Keep in mind that if your primary use is going to be for astronomy I would make sure that you get a tripod adapter.

Yes. My husband absolutely loves these binoculars. And he has used several other brands. These are great!

I purchased these a while ago and received the rebate. I don't know if it is still available. Even without the rebate I would buy these binoculars.
