ROSS Steptron 8X30

Another great pair of binoculars and very collectible. What is particularly interesting is the position and size of focus wheel. Is it really huge and accurate. It is heavy and well built. The view is very English; very sharp, wide but not as crisp and neutral colours as some best German binoculars. If you have Kershaw Olympic or Barr & Stroud C.F. 24 than you know what I mean.

    superbly built rugged binocular, sharper brighter and wider than 90% of comparable contempory 8x30 binoculars .Tight fitting prisms, Superb large focusing wheel making it easy to get exact focus position,solid bridge.Only Kershaw Olympic 8x30 optically equal,but the Ross looks nicer.Superior to Barr and Stroud CF24,and better built than virtually all German 8x30 binoculars.

    It is interesting that your backdrop paperwork shows a more modern black & white logo, different from the binoculars! That suggests continuity around the end of Ross In 1975.
    See Stepruva and Stepvue with new logo in this thread:

    They seem to have tried transitioning outsourcing to Japan at the end.
    Is the paperwork dated, and related to the goods? There may be a serial number list in the archives linked from that thread.

    Please can you change 'English' to 'British'?
    We Scottish Barr and Stroud fans are very mildly offended ...
    Thanks
