Do any of you know anything about the Sans and Streiffe Binoculars 8x30 10 degree? I think the model is Viking 889. I was told it has a 525' at 1000yds.
Are there any other S&S models you can tell me about?
Are they any good?
I did a search on this site and could find only one mention but in context of another bin.
Thanks,
Penwolf

My very limited knowledge of S&S binoculars is that they were Japanese built wide angle porros, very well regarded. The eye relief offered however was on the short side, at least for those wearing thick glasses.
The reference web site for me was Fan Tao's wonderful Binofan site, but it seems to have moved or he shut it down, to my dismay. More data can be gathered with effort from the Peter Abrahams site : http://www.europa.com/~telscope/binotele.htm check out the archives of an email list of the history and use of binoculars, about half way down the list of topics.

etudiant,
Thank you for the info. I appreciate it. Went to the reccomended site, found some info. Do you know of any reviews of S&S bins?

I have a pair of S & S 8x35 #810 hunter binoculars. The user material has an address of SANS & STREIFFE, INC 8400 BROOKFIELD AVE. BROOKFIELD, IL 60513. I know this was an old post, but you may still have an interest. I purchased them at a local auction for $20. 4 years ago.

Japanese built Porro, if you can find the J-B number between the objectives, that will tell you who built the optics.

How would you rate the optics and the bino in general? Anything to compare it to?
