Yep, I'd love to have a pair.  My friend Dennis DiCicco at Sky&Tel
reviewed a pair, and he tells me they are the greatest thing since
sliced bread. Unfortunately, I can't really justify the cost.  Also, I
find that if binocs are small and light enough (ie 10 or 12 by about
24-30) that I don't have much trouble holding them steady.  12x50's are
another matter altogether, though...

Cheers,
