Question

Binoculars,,,, what does these numbers mean e.g. 10x26 ?

Answer 1

The most common magnifications range from 7-12. More is not necessarily better, though. The higher the magnification power of your binoculars, the more noticeable the shaking of your hands becomes. For most uses, 8x is a good magnification to choose. If you go over 10x, you should consider getting a tripod.

Answer 2

This would mean the magnification is 10x, and the diameter of the big lenses is 26 mm.
