Binoculars -- What do those numbers mean??

Ever wonder what binocular numbers mean?? Well, binoculars are labeled with a set of numbers such as 8x30. The first number states the power of the binocular (8x or 8 power). The second number represents the diameter of the objective lens in millimeters (30mm). The diameter of the lens determines the light gathering ability of the instrument, with the greater light gathering ability of a larger lens translating into greater detail and clarity. This is especially useful in low light conditions and at night. See our line of binoculars from Magnacraft at http://thefamilystore.net/BinocularsMonoculars.htm

We are expecting to add a new line from OpSwiss in May. OpSwiss Binoculars come with a 50 year warranty, uses world class optical quality glass lens and are guaranteed to see clearly 40 miles or more!

Binoculars can be used for anything from bird watching, to hunting, to seeing performers on the stage from high in the balcony. I keep a set at home and in the car, you never now when you might need them.!
