Marv, you have L fever and the only cure is more red-ringed cowbell. I think I have an old Canon calculator with a red stripe on it ... will sell it to you for $1,000.

I bought a set of those for my wife and she loves them (not the L version). The IS feature works quite well and the optics are bright and clear. I purchased hers from B&H.

Have fun!
