If a Binuxit was like a Nikon SE but with an extra degree gov with enough e/r for my glasses then it sounds great to me.

Hmm, I see a sort of trap here... A Porro I (Binuxit) would look too much like anyone else's, you say; but the presumable point of the exercise is to produce a nostalgic model that appeals to people who recognize Porros (and the Leitz history with them). As for Porro II, the contemporary models seem to be blocky things with rotating eyepieces, and I'm not familiar with the historic ones previously referred to. Could someone present an example or two? (The Amplivid would be difficult for most to distinguish from a roof design, I think. Is it a category of its own?)
Thanks for the picture, Holger.
Before I were to go out with a retro-version of this one around my neck, I think I would need a new, matching clothing style ....

In a forthcoming interview with Stephan Albrecht of Leica, you will read that a retro-porro, in the same way as the Retrovid, would be considered by Leica if the demand is there. Herr Albrecht specifically says he would welcome feedback from Birdforum members about this.
Take note: this is not a cast-iron promise but it is an opportunity for Leica porro enthusiasts to nominate models and to say that they would definitely be interested in buying such a model.

Or maybe a 4x binocular mit black leather on it and call it ze Tuzi Quatro.They could build a Perger porro prism glass with some black leather on it. Or an AK prism glass with some black leather on it. They could buy the EDG design from Nikon and update it, black leather or not.
