![]() Porro-prism binoculars will inherently produce an intrinsically brighter image than roof-prism binoculars of the same magnification, objective size, and optical quality, as less light is absorbed along the optical path. They have objective lenses that are approximately in line with the eyepieces.Īside from the difference in price and portability noted above these two designs have effects on reflections and brightness. They are narrower, more compact, and more expensive than those that use Porro prisms. Most roof prism binoculars use either the Abbe-Koenig prism (named after Ernst Karl Abbe and Albert Koenig and patented by Carl Zeiss in 1905) or Schmidt-Pechan prism (invented in 1899) designs to erect the image and fold the optical path. Binoculars using Roof prisms may have appeared as early as the 1880s in a design by Achille Victor Emile Daubresse. ![]()
