What's your very favorite Roof and Porro Prism?



Of all the bincoulars you have experienced what are your favorite birding binoculars in the roof prism design and the porro-prism design without regard to price? Based on optics, weight,ergonomics, build quality, and included accessories(Case,Strap,rainguard and objective covers). Now if you haven't tried the top alpha binoculars for whatever reason we still would like your opinion on the binoculars you have had but state that you haven't tried the top alphas. Here is my vote to start it off:

1) Best Porro Prism- Nikon 8x32 SE.

2) Best Roof Prism- Zeiss 8x32 FL.

Hi,
I've not tried newer most expensive alphas as I can't afford them and I know if I look through them, I'll most likely want them.

1). Porro- Bushnell Legend 8x42. Cracking view for very low price. Full fov with specs on. Only down side is weight. Tried in shop recently and about to buy them as back up pair.

2). Roof- Meopta Meostar 8x32. Bought in June. Fantastic view and an ergonomic delight. Full fov with specs on. Compared them against used Leica 8x32 BNs and new Swaro SLC 8x30 and I think much better than both

Cheers,
Martin.
