Hi guys
I hope someone can kindly enlighten me.
When I check night binoculars I often see them as 3.5 x 42 or 4 x 50 etc.
Is the magnification indicated by the 3.5 or 4 and the diameter of the front lens by the 42 or 50? I just find them a little difficult to decipher.
My current day time binoculars are a really really old Zeiss 8x30 so something similar that has full night vision capability would be sufficient. How do I tell what is what?
Sorry if it sounds like a simpleton question. I do, however, intend to observe a lot of owl courtship etc over the coming Sydney autumn/winter starting in March next year.
Thanks for any tips.
