Steiner SkyHawk 4.0 8x42

If you look at nature in detail, you will experience its unique fascination. And this is exactly what the SkyHawk 4.0 was developed for: To observe nature clearly and sharply at all times. Whether in the garden, in the forest or out in the open, whether in the snow or by the sea, whether at midday or at dusk. The outstanding high-contrast optics deliver razor-sharp images and reproduce every facet of nature in true detail.

With the SkyHawk 4.0, thanks to the innovative distance control system with its 360° focusing wheel, it is just a small movement of the hand from the brilliant observation of a bird's flight high up in the clouds to the sharply contoured close-up view of a beetle in the grass right in front of you.

Steiner has optimized the famous small, large details and set a new standard in terms of ergonomics and handling with the new design. This makes even long-term observations a comfortable experience and the new strap connection offers a universal attachment option for every application requirement.

The extensive range of accessories rounds off the SkyHawk package and offers a high-quality bag, rain cover and lens protection caps as well as a soft padded neoprene carrying strap for fatigue-free carrying, even on long hikes.

The SkyHawk series offers a unique haptic experience and of course impresses with the already legendary STEINER robustness.

An all-round favorite with no extra bulk or weight. Versatile, even for observation in difficult weather conditions. Large field of view and comfortable, quiet handling.
