I do not wish upon him the the misfortune of looking through a large military style porro. After the Leica and the Swaro, looking through my 7x50 Fujinon FMT-SX just ain't no fun. The view is overwhelming. The awesome 50-ounce king sized individual focus encumbrance twists the knife in the wound. Such is enlightenment.I just have to try to get over it, love roofs for what they are, and be awed at the science needed, and implemented, to make them as good as they are. A fine rugged binocular that is fun to use and tolerable to tote around, now that really is something! Unfortunately, my Fujinon gets used only for astronomy, and as an occasional daytime optical curiosity/heartbreaker/sanity check.Ron</blockquote>
