I was seriously considering those, until this evening I came across my all time favourite.

Who wants 300 % magnification when you can have the image magnified a thousand times with your 20 mm monocular.

... not quite sure about the FOV, though.

(I'm just trying to imagine the scene. The guys preparing the print on this monocular.)
- Hey, Joe, it says here 96/100 m. How do you like it?
  • Nah, sounds like too little, pump it up to 100.000, that should do.
  • Ah, brilliant, you always have the best ideas. Genius.

Hello,

I think Mono forgot the smiley here?

And as you know, I am far from an expert, but should a binocular device without prisms (=Galilei type) provide only a very narrow field of view?

Sometimes those numbers work for the people who don't know anything about binoculars. Recently one of my friends told me he also had a pair of binoculars and those are Russian made and they came with an extra wheel to adjust the background blur. It seems to me that he thought his binoculars with that function is far superior to my poor NL 8x42. Still I can't understand what he was telling of an extra wheel to adjust the background blur 😉

He also asked me what is the distance I can see with my binoculars. I said I can see even moon so it will be thousands of kilometers 😁 Then he said there is a number mentioned in the binoculars to mention the distance then can see. So some people think the bigger numbers mentioned in binoculars mean they are far superior. That funny marketing trick surely work for some people.

How about these honeys? 180x100. Only $12.95! MILITARY!!! Maybe you could sell them to your enemy and then they couldn't see you coming.

Reminds me of a bloke I watched on Scilly being asked about his scope by grockles: they wanted to know how far he could see and he told them 90 million miles by day and further at night. "Wow" was the response in an awed hush.
