Just wanted to alert anyone interested in a new toy - in the binocular department. Fujinon makes a techno-stabi binocular called a T1232, modeled after a big brother version 1440. If you search online, you'll find the price is approx. $750; far too much for me. Until you find that Defender has it for $450. They have a bunch in stock and the price is for real; my guess is that, approaching five years old, the model is likely being replaced, but for those looking for that toy, you may want to consider Defender's little fire sale.
