Got a good deal on EBAY a few days ago for a pair of brand new
electronically stabilized Fujinon 14 x 40s. Practical Sailor raved
about them in a recent test so I just had to get a pair.

After a quick 30 minute evaluation outside on the boat, I can
unequivocally say that these things are the greatest. The
stabilization feature can be switched on and off at the push of a
button, and the difference is like night and day. Can't wait to try
them out while underway.


Cool - I've got to get me some of them. Those are the best from
what I've read because the use an active gyro system I believe
while Nikon and Canon use the wet bag system which isn't as
relilable as I understand it.

Ebay huh? Hmmm...
