Is Steiner Binocular good for birdwatching?

The new Steiner Peregrine XP 8x44 and 10x44 have received good reviews by birdwatchers in Europe.

I would like to try out a pair. Where can you find them in Hong Kong?

Yes, Sogo 10th Floor, in the Victorinox shop.

They have the new Steiner 10x44, called Discovery. I tried them out.

Very good quality but very similar optically to my current pair, the Zeiss 10x42 FL. The Steiner is slightly heavier (+10%) but probably better finished than the Zeiss, mine is loosing it's rubber covering after 1 year of heavy use.

I would look at them if you are in the market for a high quality pair of binoculars. Quite expensive at HK$17,000 including discount but maybe you can find them cheaper on the internet or other shops.
