Telescope Reviews: Re: Found a great deal on Fujion 12x32 Techno-Stabi Jr

For those still looking for a deal, every year defender.com has a 4th of July sale. These bins are $413.99 shipped right now. http://www.defender.com/product.jsp?path=-1|17|18|323949&id=166240

I also found interesting reviews and discussion at these links:

I note that the reviewer's 14x40 bins broke after a couple months but a 3 week trip to Japan under the lifetime warranty had them back in like new condition.

I know we see lots of great reviews here for IS bins and despite my inability to hand hold anything over 9x I am still reticent to go IS. Old school I guess..... then again... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
