A truly modern version of a wide field 7x35 porro with the latest coating would be something worth owning also.

I understand that Nikon uses the same eyepieces and prisms on all 3 SEs. They might also be able to use it on a 60mm objective (with maybe a little tweaking) to get a 15 x 60? Don't know if the Prisms would be big enough though.

I would buy one.

Pipedreams?

Three porros from Zeiss: The 8x30B and the 8x50B with modern coatings, and the classic 10x50 porro with modern eyepieces and modern coatings.

I would love someone to make a decent zoom binocular, nothing outlandish a 42mm with a 6x - 12x zoom would be a great all purpose device.
