It works as claimed, even from a small plane or while walking! I kid you not, it stabilizes the wild motion when viewing out a C172 window. It's best to hold them with a delicate touch with finger tips to decouple the higher frequency vibration from them. They can't compensate as well for the engine vibration if you grab them tight. They easily can compensate for all the whoop-de-does from the plane buffeting around. Amazing. They focus more closely than you'll want to, since at 14x and 15 feet you'll have to cross your eyes. The use of the large objective lens elements with the effective diameter of 40mm achieves an advanced level of light-gathering power. The company's unique “EBC Multi-Coating” is applied to control flare and ghosting while enhancing light transmittance to provide a bright view. That means they can be used for astronomical observation in low-light conditions. Clarity and color rendition are very, very good. Equal to any Leica I've looked through - with the possible exception of Trinovid 7x42 and 8x42's which seem to have a vibrant color-life all their own. Resolution seems superb, although I have not yet done arcsecond resolution testing (I'll do that within a week and post the results). Brightness is very good, even in low-light conditions. In short, optical performance is superb - which is what you would expect from ED glass made in the same factory as Zeiss optics (the Schott glassworks). I would NOT recommend long-term viewing through the 15x setting without some kind of tripod or steady rest, the 10 minutes or so I gave 15x free-handing without support gave me a headache and made my hands jitter a bit afterward. Stabilized, on the otherhand, the 15x setting is a sight to behold - I LOVE it! I thought of putting the strap on and wrapping it around one elbow as I did with my Minolta film cameras and rifle shooting, but I haven't bothered yet. The strap has to be exactly the right length for best stability.

If I want planetary viewing with detail, I go to my bigger scopes as the image is so small with 10X. But you can easily see Jupiter's moons and monitor their movement. Therefore even with the powerful 14x magnification, they say that with a vibration correction angle of ±6° this system will provide you with an image with only a very small amount of shake. Apart from the increase in image shake (which the IS takes care of), another downside to high magnifications is that the more “zoomed in” image results in a narrower field of view (FOV) and thus you observe less of what is going on in the periphery.I have never owned a helicopter, but customers did, and the former family ketch is now hauling tourists from near Puerto Vallarta to Mismaloya "Night of the Iguana" Richard Burton, Ava Gardner, with Liz Taylor nearby. Everything we put into your VX-3HD is there to help you tag out. Like all Leupold riflescopes, it's designed, machined, and assembled in the USA and guaranteed for life. These Fujinons impressed me because they have stabilization as well as the sharpness of the other high-end non-stabilized binoculars. They are the best of both worlds. They don't get softer with stabilization ON. If you're unsure of the size of your new shed, consider financing it. You can choose between a traditional structure or a cape cod-style structure. A cape cod-style building has a pitched roof, giving it an attractive appearance. In addition, cape cod style structures are more durable and are also more energy-efficient than their smaller counterparts. They are also ideal for storage and can be built to withstand extreme weather conditions. This ancient mariner thought that the weight would be just too much, but the binocular is not that bad, although heavy.

I'd get whichever you prefer based on price, name and support. I got the Fujinons because they cost less, and I suspect that they're all made by Fujinon. I'd rather gamble, if Fujinon really makes them all, to have Fujinon service them if they ever need it, even though the service I've gotten from Nikon has always been excellent. I'm a little weird, and prefer to have the name of who I really think made them on a product instead of a different brand, but that's just me. In any case, the Fujinons cost less, so I'd go with them anyway. The 14 x 40 shed plans are made for anyone who wants a storage building without the high cost. They come with an 8'-1" wall height that can accommodate pre-hung factory-built doors. The roof pitch is 10/12 with a 4/12 pitched porch. They come with a materials list and 5 foundations. These plans can be customized to fit your unique needs. It's the perfect place for storing tools, gardening tools, or anything else you want to store. Marrying a generous 12x magnification to a respectable 36mm sized objective lens, Canon’s middle-of-range image stabilized Porro prism binocular purports to offer a clear, flat view from edge to edge, while being ideally suited to bird watchers and sports fans. The Canon also displays some false colour when the variprisms are away from central. I haven't noticed this in the Fujinon.Fujifilm does not mention what glass they use or what mirror coating material is used on the prisms. As they don’t shout about it I would assume that it is silver and not dielectric. Exit Pupil Size & Low Light Performance The FUJINON TS-X 1440 uses a gyro sensor that is able to accurately detect the tiniest vibrations and which then adjusts the prism inside the body to compensate for this movement. Steady Shake Free Image Lenses – The lens has dust inside that may affect images. The rubber zoom/focus ring is coming away from the barrel of the lens.

To be brutally honest with you, I find the field of view to be barely tolerable on the low-end of the magnification range (10x) and somewhat reasonable on the upper-end (15x). I will probably keep these binoculars set at somewhere between 12X and 15X for most of their usable life, as I find the 10x setting to have a somewhat unpleasant tunnel-like quality to it. From the way I read Everready's battery engineering data (I have a BSEE in this) I'd predict a 7 hour run time in stabilize, about 30 hours in standby and about 250 years while off with Energizer alkalines. The internal elements which move to focus rotate in helicoids, which keeps the focus and alignment tight. Other binoculars I own use a single shaft to which two eyepieces or two objective lenses are attached, which means even a tiny amount of play in the center shaft leads to gross errors.Multicoated with two cemented surfaces in the front and maybe one cemented surface at the rear of each barrel. weeks ago the first company rang and asked how did we do with fixing the problem. I said you didn't.
