The Dawning of a New Era in Innovation

The Predator Xtreme representsthe sixth generation of our exclusivecontrast enhancing optics. Fournew models build upon the proventechnology behind our successfulPredator binoculars, giving you theability to penetrate deeper intowooded or leafy environmentswhere you’ll spot game otherscannot.

Our newest lens coatings over-come the challenges associatedwith exceptional contrast—less brightness, reduced light transmission, oraltered colors. With the Predator Xtreme you not only see more contrast;these binoculars actually make your eyes more perceptive, especially indimly lit hunting conditions.

Steiner engineers developed a new optical coating formula that workswith your eyes by filtering layers from inbound light. The lenses filter lightand add contrast at the peak human sensitivity range. We call this DynamicCoating Technology and think you will agree that seeing is believing. Tryout any of the four new models and you’ll be convinced.

We invite you now to review the 2011 Steiner binoculars. Try them at your favorite dealer.

Steiner’s specialty is the productionof optical glass and components.Matching lens performance to theuser’s eyes is especially importantwith the new Nighthunter XP andPredator Xtreme.

The Nighthunter XP deliversexceptional light transmissionacross a very wide part of thehuman eye color spectrummaking your eyes morenocturnal so you can seegreater detail in low light oreven darkness.

The Predator Xtreme adds more

game-finding contrast to the image

by filtering out light around 530nm.

Overall transmission remains high,

delivering brighter images in low

light.

The redesigned NighthunterXP line offers the brightestarray of HD glass we’ve everput into a roof-prism binocular.Available in two 42mm andtwo 56mm models that notonly bring your subject closer,it will appear considerablybrighter with more contrastand natural HD color thanyou’ve ever seen.

The Nighthunter XPs are sobright and remarkable thatyou start earlier and stay later because no other optics can deliver thedramatically brighter images these XP lenses produce. Steiner’s hardcoated NANO-Protection hydrophobic lens coating means you’ll seemore in rain, sleet or snow.
