Discovery 8x44

Feel the comfort of innovation

In close cooperation with birdwatchers from all over the world Steiner developed  innovations that are specially tailored to the requirements of birdwatching. The requirements were optical performance that delivers first-class light transmission, brightness, optimal contrast and true colours as well as and exact resolution of details. In addition to this performance criteria, the new Discovery range offers absolute comfort and ease of use. This makes the Discovery 8x44 the perfect companion for short trips or long tours.

With the new softgrips, the twist-up eyecups and the special Fast-Close-Focus the Discovery 8x44 combines benefits for perfect handling.

The 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.

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".

The Distance Control System guarantees fast and easy recognition of e.g. birds. Focussing takes place before you hold   binocular up to your eyes. When observing, the distance to the bird can be read off 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.
