Hello,

I am of the opinion that the Pentax DCF 8X43 ED is very hard to beat in its price range. However, I prefer porros to roofs. Unfortunately, there appears to be many fewer choices in porros than in roofs, particularly as one moves towards the higher end.

My question: Are there any porros out there that can match the optical performance of the Pentax DCF 8X43 ED? If so, which ones?

Thanks,

Al

Hi

You're down to the Nikon Premier SE's, though those are disappearing. At a ,lower price, but still very good, try the Minox BD BP and the Swift 820ED. That about covers what's left of premium porros.
