As far as I know, the Nikon 8X30 EII Porro is sill a current. The Nikon Intl web site still shows it with the current models. Nikon USA discontinued offering it a few years ago but it is available from Japan and other far east vendors. Nikon did recently discontinue the Nikon 8X32 SE Porro along with the rest of the SE line so you may be thinking of that. If you are sure the 8X30 EII is now gone, please let us know more. That would be a shame because it is a great binocular.
The link you posted is interesting and may be right. It is not unknown for vendors to be slow in updating their web sites. However, I agree with Steve, that sure was fast if true. My hope is they fix the glare problem and continue the product. I would have bought one if not for the glare or if I had received a positive response from Mike F. that the issue was being acknowledged and addressed.
