The invention pertains to a Porro prism of the second type, with at least two interconnected reversing prisms that each provide two reflective inclined surfaces for a beam path between an entry surface and an exit surface, wherein the exit surface of one reversing prism and the entry surface of the other reversing prism form their respective connecting surface, and wherein the inventive Porro prism is characterized in that the connecting surface lies oblique to the optical axes of those sections of the beam path that penetrate the exposed entry and exit surfaces of the reversing prisms.
