Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dean L" data-source="post: 1727213" data-attributes="member: 83386">I've just ordered a new pair of Nikon 12X50 SEs, already own a pair of 8X32 SEs and a pair of Canon 10X42Ls, all of which are porros, so, I guess the answer is yes.  Of course, lowering the price on Zeiss FLs by 50% or more would probably negate any need I might feel for new, improved porros, but we all know that isn't going to happen.The secret to success is, and always has been, to give the consumer what they want at a price they are willing to pay.  Most folks seem to want roofs, but I certainly prefer the view through porros.  What I don't know is how much of my preference comes from the fact that I can own all three of the binos listed for only slightly more than the cost of one pair of Zeiss FLs.Dean</blockquote>
