half meter:

Thanks for your comments regarding the Canon 18x50 IS binos. I field tested a pair for several nights two or three years ago and found them to be marvelous.

Several experienced observers on this site have noticed optical problems with them. I think what they're talking about is a slight high-frequency vibration that makes the stars seem to defocus ever-so-slightly, yielding what some describe as a "flat" view.

It may be that Canon has a quality control problem with this instrument. The pair I tested was fine.

The 18x50s are high on my to-acquire list. I won't actually be in the market for them until next year but have been paying close attention to discussions about these binos.
