In Australia, so far as I can discover, Fujinons are sold by Astronomy Online (York Optical)

(only the 10x model)
and Andrews http://www.andrewscom.com.au/site-co...-celestron.htm

There are several dealers in the US (eg Amazon) but I've not explored whether they can sell outside the US.

The Fujinon prices are much higher (more than twice) here than in the US, whereas the "Kunming" Astrophysics/Garrett/Oberwerk/Andrews 15x70s are very competitively priced here compared to the US. Andrews and AOE sell them (Andrews is cheaper but AOE sells them with a metal case, according to their websites).

As for Hoya, I've not seen any mention of them still making binocs. Mine date from 1980.
