Instead of joining the band of gospeleers who ignore your statements which have been quite precise, assuming that you don#t know what you are talking about, I shall rather take an opposite approach, assuming you've got a brain to make up your mind with. If you have managed to successfully pick up your lower jaw and fix it with a few drops of superglue to the upper one you might be interested in reading the review of pocket binos I shall humbly submit by attching it to the end of this message. A pocket bino is a compromise, yes, but it's also a useful appendage to a full-size instrument. "Porros" are not dead .... "they just smell funny" (to quote a great american rock pioneer). There are some high quality models left that give excellent results. Even mid-priced specimens easily give results not visible different from roof prism models costing 3 times as much. You can#t go wrong in the top league. The field is easy to nagivate: there are but four manufacturers who play in it. Performance is invariably excellent. The rest is up to personal taste. In the low-price area you get low performance for a low price. You don't expect much, you will not be disappointed. The mid-priced range (300-1000 USD) is a MINEFIELD ! You may get excellence, you may get total junk. Here it is where every step needs good consideration. Discriminate measurable performance date from personal opinions! Good luck, General. Keep your head in the trench. Major Tom</blockquote>
