[QUOTE="toddc, post: 1249455, member: 4566"] And to be clear, I ran a guide service on the plains for over 10 yrs. I glassed for a living in other words. Canon Glass isn't Leica. However, Canon does know glass quite well and they are decent. I and my customers owned glass from every company on the planet. Yes there is better glass. However, the IS feature puts them in a world that makes what they will do in many instances, not comparable to even tripod mounted glass. IS shuts movement DOWN. PERIOD. Even a huge tripod will not. Well yeah Todd but the binos don't move.........yeah but uhhhhhh your head does....you breath and shake. With IS that is gone. You may be able to set up and use a pair of Big Eyes at times that are AS STABLE.....but I wouldn't bet on it. I glassed a LOT. Literally ALL DAY. The eye and neck/back fatigue alone made the IS a choice for me. They were my go to glass. That being said, all glass is a niche product. I also ran some 10-12x for close range glassing(IS did better in the dark tho). I also ran a set of Big Eyes custom made and a couple of different spotters. The IS filled my go to niche and did it all 85% of the time. [/QUOTE]
