Re: Undersized prisms - the myth

Hi Glenn,
Nice illustration, thanks.
Several times you've mentioned "standard Porro prisms" as opposed to "asymetric Porro prisms". Is the use of asymetric prisms an attempt to correct the problem of "too small prisms"? I imagine that using progressively smaller prisms would reduce the overall prism path length and move the prisms further away from the objectives. Am I on the right track, or am I missing something?
