I am satisfied with this construction because you never lose the caps. You fold the lens caps downwards, as it were, so that they dangle from the binocular tubes out of sight. Lens capsĪs mentioned, the Steiner Safari Ultrasharp 10X42 comes with lens caps and with a large plastic protector at the eyepieces. The Steiner Safari ultrasharp 10×42 can withstand extreme temperatures. It is waterproof and can be used from -20 degrees to plus 70 degrees, and the latter came in handy during the heat in Dubai and Oman. The binocular has a size of 64 mm X 128 X 148 mm in the most compact position. I measure the weight with the two large lens caps on the binoculars, so that could give a few grams difference. ![]() ![]() Steiner itself states a weight of 720 grams and this test sample stays close to that. Polycarbonate is strong and light, which means that the weight of this adult binoculars is limited to 731.3 grams. Makrolon is a polycarbonate, in short a plastic. The house of the Steiner Safari Ultrasharp 10X42 is from Makrolon. Due to the roof prisms, the Steiner Safari Ultrasharp 10X42 is a slim pair of binoculars. An additional property is that a roof prism binocular gives a slightly less depth experience. This construction method usually produces compact and light binoculars, but due to the more complicated construction, they are more difficult to build and therefore often more expensive. The Steiner Safari Ultrasharp 10X42 is a roof prism binocular in which the prisms in the binocular are in a straight line behind each other. And yet… the differences in performance are quite large. It will therefore come as no surprise that there are great similarities between the two binoculars. The previous one was the smaller brother of the 10X42, the 10X25. The Steiner Safari Ultrasharp 10X42 is the second binoculars I test from this German brand. Weight: 731.3 grams (720 grams specified).
