Some of my most vivid childhood memories are traveling with my family and exploring the various U.S. National Parks. From the Grand Canyon to the Craters Of the Moon, we visited some of the most beautiful places I had ever seen. Too young to be the photographer I would eventually be, there was one set of “glass” that I happily used to explore these horizons. Binoculars. To be sure, binoculars in the 1980s were nothing like what we have today. The FUJINON TECHNO-STABI TS-L2040 and FUJINON TECHO-STABI TS-L1640 binoculars are marvels of technology that allow explorers, young and old(er), to see what the naked eye cannot.

Powerful Magnification
Choose 16x magnification with the FUJINON TECHNO-STABI TS-L1640 or 20x Magnification FUJINON TECHNO-STABI TS-L2040. Either way, you will observe your subject up close and in perfect clarity. I like to watch the birds in my front yard, and 16x works perfectly for me. If you are exploring wide open areas or from the top of a mountain 20x, it may suit you better.
Image Stabilization
Of course, with so much magnification, holding a binocular steady might be a challenge. Not so with the TECHNO-STABI line. With ±3° of electronic image stabilization, you’ll never have a shaky view.
Bright View
A 40mm objective lens diameter means the view through these binoculars will be bright, up close, and stable. Looking through the glass is as bright and clear as looking with your eyes but with 16 or 20x magnification, of course!
Carry them Anywhere
All this technology is impressive, but for many of us, or maybe just me, if it’s not convenient, I won’t use it. For binoculars, this comes down to weight and size. These FUJINON binoculars are lightweight and compact enough to fit in your kit, with enough room for plenty of snacks.
Who Are the FUJINON TECHNO-STABI TS-L2040 FUJINON TS-TECHNO-STABI L1640 binoculars for?
As a photographer, I often lean on my many great lenses to get up and close to my subject. This is great, of course, but like many things in life, the camera quickly becomes a multi-tasker and can be a distraction. Binoculars such as the FUJINON TECHNO-STABI TS-L2040 FUJINON TS-TECHNO-STABI L1640 do one thing REALLY well. This allows us to focus on the moment and have real joy in exploring, with no additional expectation of capturing the “perfect shot.” Whether hiking, bird watching, enjoying a concert, or a myriad of other activities that get better by being close, these binoculars are for you.
