Q: Questioncan each eye be focused separately?

Asked 9 years ago by gigi.

• A:Answer Both eyepieces are focused together with the center focus adjustment. However, there is an easy way to adjust the right eyepiece to compensate for differences in your eyes. You look through the binocular at a distant object and focus it for your left eye with the center focus wheel WITH THE LENS COVER STILL ON THE RIGHT SIDE LENS. So you are actually looking through the left side of the binocular only, with your left eye, only. Next, you put the lens cap over the Left Lens and uncover the Right Side Lens. BUT ---- DON'T touch the center focus wheel at all. Instead, while looking at the same object, twist the right eyepiece clockwise or counterclockwise a small amount until that same object you were looking at with your left eye is in focus with your right eye. The twisting might be a little tight, but will move maybe 1/4" each way. You'll see under the right eyepiece there are small symbols such as a + 0 - or something like that. Your best setting will be at the center or on one side or the other. You should always keep this "offset" set in the same place so both eyes will focus correctly. It sounds a little complicated, but you can do it. Give it a try a couple times and you'll see how it works. Enjoy.

Q: QuestionWhat is the best "power" of binoculars to bring an object close at 500 yards? Example: 10x42, 12x50, and others. I look at ships that are 100 yards away or more and want to see up close in the wheelhouse.

Asked 9 years ago by Bardo.

• A:Answer The 10x42 size binoculars will give you the same reach you need as the 12x50 size but are more convenient to carry as they are lighter in weight. The 10x42 also allows for less eye-strain than the 12x50. Both of these binoculars would be a great choice as they each provide the magnification reach for the distance you are asking about.

Q: QuestionWhat power of binocular will give you the most distance and still be clear? I am looking at the 8x42 and the 10x42.

Asked 8 years ago by CarolB.

• A:Answer Clarity for both scopes will be the same, but each will give you a different magnification and field of view. The Aculon A211 10x42 would magnify the image closer then the 8x42s. However the 10x42 would have a narrower field of view then then the 8x42.
