All binoculars, sporting optics and spotting scopes use the same terminology to specify important features. You have all seen on binoculars technical specifications for example 8x42mm. To what does this mean? The number eight to specifies the magnification power of the binoculars for an example an object viewed through these binoculars will appear to be a 8 times closer than when viewed naturally. The other number 42, is the measurement in MM of the objective lens of the binoculars. The objective lens is the largest lens and is located opposite the eyepiece.
