Im honestly surprised that more people dont consider a reverse porro prism design when choosing small binoculars

With small roof prism binoculars you need phase corrective coatings and good reflective prism coatings in order to have even a semi decent optic

This means that you either get dirt cheap low quality pieces or expensive decent quality options

The durability issues with larger porro binoculars dont really apply on these smaller binoculars so the advantages outweigh the disadvantages even more
