Now you are making me work to come up with a list.
I also enjoy binoculars and have several, and among the
porro's, my best ones are the Nikon SE models, the
8x32, 10x42 and the 12x50. These do compare with the very
best roof binoculars, as I do compare them regularly.
I will always own an example of the 8x32 SE, as it is
a reference standard for many experienced optics users.
Next would be the 10x35 EII, and many other 7x35 - 12x50 Nikon Action models of various types.
I have several older vintage porro models in 7x35 and 8x30, nice older glass from the 60's and 70's.
Next is the Leupold Yosemite 6x30, a great small glass,
and well regarded here on the site. I have a couple
tucked away for grandchildren when the time comes.
