The 2016 sample is very poor, probably a lemon.An earlier one is a different IS, maybe prism shift.I suppose the lens shift method is cheaper to make.It seems to be limited to 32mm.Probably used in Canon lenses?Pleased not CR123A batteries. Expensive in the field or abroad.Does one have to press the d-mn button down to make it work, or does it lock for 5 minutes?Do they do a special price for a set of three?I'd probably get the 14x32.When do we get a Canon IS scope?I hope the front rubber rings don't fall off as happens with the 8x25 IS.P.S.All +/-1.0 deg correction angle.55mm IPD minimum useful for some, especially ladies and younger folk.Still only 3 dioptre correction. Not enough for some.Not very lightweight.8x25 IS 490g10x30 IS II 600g12x32 IS 780gThose front rubber rings look too thin, unless they extend under the rubber body cover or have better grip than on the 8x25 IS.I hope that the front optical windows don't fall out.The MRP is too high for me to consider early purchase, unless the shop price is less.</blockquote>
