Pros
  • Wide FOV, brightness, clarity, comfort
Cons
  • Right eye diopter
I bought this when it first came out and really love my ED's. I have Swarovski 10x42's but because they are 10s and roof's and expensive I hardly ever use them. I recently dropped the ED's off the car roof and am trying to decided whether to buy another pair (where oh where do you get these for less than 400?) or try a roof - only because roofs are supposed to be more durable and I seem to be fairly rough on equipment. My right eye (wear glasses) is significantly worse than my left so I do tend to dink with the right diopter a lot anyway.
Really, porro's are wonderful though. Love the fit in my hand, love the fit to my face and love that I can hold them in a stance with my arms in. I don't really like roof's, they are just to skinny.
For the price the glass and the FOV in the Swift Audubon's can't be beat.
