Porro prism binoculars offer a wider field of view. (However, some users feel that the Roof prism binocular gives a more “accurate” view and that the 3-D Porro prism effect is slightly exaggerated). It turns out that the wider spacing of the Porro prism binocular objective lenses results in a slightly stereoscopic three dimensional image, providing the user with increased depth perception. Porro prisms provide an extra clear image since, due to the construction, there is less light loss – when light waves enter the prism there is total internal reflection. The subject of internal reflections plays a major role in image clarity and light loss.

Most birders who wear glasses own one pair of binoculars – and they are roof prisms! Still, there are birders who don’t wear their glasses when using binoculars, and have a real fondness for Porros.
