I'm not familiar but I thought roof prism is a design not type of prism.
It depends on the arrangement of the prisms..? :roll:

Yes. And they don't have all their stocks locally. Most times I have to wait for 1-2 weeks for them to ship it over from US.

With such small quantity it will not be cheap. Edmund Optics stuff are
so so in quality and not cheap. However, at least they sell in small quantity unlike other companies.
