Discovery – The advantages at a glance

Comfort Balance System by STEINER:

The STEINER Comfort-Balance-System guarantees comfortable handling.

Softgrips:
Our novel Softgrips for your thumbs ideally combine comfort with a firm 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.

Twist-Up Eyecups:
The novel Twist-up Eyecups offer optimum protection against incidental light from the side. They don‘t just block troublesome reflections; 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 fit exactly to your eyes, they can be adjusted as desired by the eyecup fine adjustment mechanism.

Fast-Close-Focus:
A small adjustment of the focusing wheel with your fingers is all that‘s needed to recognize 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 focusing in an unbelievably short time.
 

High-Performance-Optics by STEINER:

High-Definition XP-Optics:
STEINER developed these remarkable optics. The optical formula is our own development using the purest index matched glass, and coatings using rare-earth formulations of titanium, fluorite and other mineral substrates. The result is first-class light transmission, brightness and optimal contrast. The Discovery‘s 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. The Discovery‘s prism system contains a specially developed dielectric mirror that reflects 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.

The perfectly adjusted distance of the exit pupil and the large diameter of the ocular lens provides you with relaxed and exact observing experiences. You gain an “into-the-image“ feeling, but you also achieve the highest comfort, even when viewing with low light or peripheral interference. The large above-average objective diameter of 44 mm guarantees clear, detailed and brilliant observation.

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. Focusing takes place before you hold the Discovery up for viewing. When observing, the distance to the bird can be read off in the binoculars at any time. If desired you can preset the distance even before you are looking at the bird. This gives you more valuable time for identification.
