Also, for the birders, I used to use a nice pair of 7 x 35 binocs but tried the new 10 x 36 Canon Image Stabilizer binoculars, wow was I hooked. I actually had a 10x that I could handhold, excellent optics too! They aren't that much larger than the Geovids.

You won't see the top-of-the-line Pentax stuff in Halifax, as it's not exported. There is a fellow in Japan who advertises from time to time in S&T and claims to be able to get it for you, but I've never patronized him. Two or three times, I've met folks who had lived in Japan and had bought some of the better Pentax stuff over there and, yes, it IS competitive with Zeiss and Leica.
