[Leica] binoculars - looking for assistance

[rclompus at mac.com (Richard Clompus)]

I've had almost a dozen Leica binoculars over the past two decades.   
Fine optics.  But for the past four years, I have been smitten with  
the image stabilized Canons.  The 10X30's are such a pleasure to  
use.  The 12x36's are a bit heavy.  I find the image not quite as  
sharp in the Canon compared to the Leicas but in real world  
conditions, the image hangs still in space once the stabilizer is  
activated.  It is almost magical to look through the 10x30 Canons  
with the stabilizer activated.  I find stabilization works on land  
and sea and have become quite enamored with them.  The Leica optics  
are tremendous but I have found stabilized optics of a slightly  
lesser caliber even better for everyday use.

Best regards,
