Canon's Image Stabiliser binoculars really do work well and first-time use is commonly a “
Wow!” experience, especially given the powerful 18x magnification of this top-of-the-range pair. The large objectives and UD lens elements make them great for astro work too, offering the spectacular nighttime viewing of a widefield scope, without the need for a mount. For birders, long-range observation and identification of difficult seabirds and waders is made easy, without the hassles of carrying and setting up a tripod and spotting scope. They’d be great on a boat or for watching watersports from the shore, too. As the photos show, these binoculars are in beautiful condition and they also come with some useful bonus extras. Inspection is welcome if you’re local to Perth.
