Call me a sweet old fashioned guy but for 50 years i have owned only porro prism binoculars. My reasons were the price and very importantly the better ( to my eye ) depth of field. Researching the internet has confirmed my beliefs that the porros have a better field of view. However have things changed with all the improvements made to contemporary roof prisms? I am contemplating buying into my first pair of roof prisms but only if the depth of field is at least equal to the porros. The second part of my dilemma is can i buy the kind of equal depth of field quality for $300. plus minus a few dollars ?
