Which are better at the lower end of the market? I'm not talking Leica, Zeiss top of the range etc...
I'm looking at the £200- £300 mark. The likes of Opticron with their Imagic and Veranos, RSPB optics(great reviews),Ace Avians, In focus Deltas, there are loads available. These are all roofs at the cheap end of the market with all the great features like, waterproof, light weight, close focus and super sharp images. Everyone seems to be plugging these but no one is plugging Porros.
I keep finding information, through research on line, that good Porros are better, optically, than cheap Roofs. I appreciate that markets are driven by what is fashionable and what sells but if Porros are better why are all the leading manufacturers promoting Roofs?
Be interested to here some opinions.
