The porro prism binoculars owned (and regularly used) by my wife and I are:
Nikon Superior E 10x42 (amazing resolution)
Bausch & Lomb Custom 8x36 Audubons (IMO great bang for the buck)
Leupold I.F. 7x30 Wind River (like a Timex, they've taken many a licking but keep on ticking)
While we have a couple of nice roofs, I also much prefer holding and using good porro prism binoculars.
