Message: <blockquote data-quote="FrankD" data-source="post: 1392888" data-attributes="member: 18544">I was thinking along the lines of the Cascade porro in comparison to the Legend roof, Monarch, etc.... They have very similar fields of view, eye relief, etc... and since the Cascade porros are of the internal focus design they don't have any of the other inexpensive porros' drawbacks. Dont' get me wrong I actually like the Legend roofs optical performance for its original price point (around $320 IIRC) and cannot argue at all with its performance for what I paid for it but I think at $209 the Cascade porro is a better option to all of the typical $300 roof prism models that have been on the market in recent years....at least the 8x42 models....and I am sure your list is getting quite long....but a heck of alot of fun too. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
