Hi Attila,

Welcome to the forum.

I can't really help a lot with this as I haven't seen the Rogue reverse porro. It's a couple of years since I checked out the 20 or so smaller pairs of binoculars I was able to find at local retailers. Yes the expensive Zeiss, Leica, Nikon roofs were the best but very expensive. Amongst the cheaper binos I was able to try, the reverse porros were better than the roofs. They were sharper, brighter, better contrast and mostly a wider sweet spot. My top three were the Bushnell Elite 7x26 (expensive) the Olympus PCI 8x25 and a little behind, the Nikon Travelite EX 8x25. Of course the Nikon is the only one of the three that is waterproof.

There are plenty I haven't tried, and pairs like the Opticron Taiga and Hawke Frontier PC (roof) amongst others have their fans on the forum.

Good luck,

David
