This revolutionary idea set high standards within the optics industry and Steiner Optik soon becomes the world leading quality binocular manufacturer. It is the year 1973 when father Karl steps down and his son Carl Steiner continues to run the family business.

Since the beginning, Steiner has always focused on creating new optics technologies. Many revolutionary innovations were not only developed by Steiner optics, but set the standards for future products with all Binocular manufacturers. Steiner innovations include rubber armoring, the first binoculars ever with an integrated compass, the first binoculars with special optical coating to protect against harmful UV radiation, the pocket size binocular, and the new Predator lens coating to increase contrast of animals against wooded backgrounds.
