Keven Cotterell:
10x—that’s what the first part of 10×50 means. The 50 is the size of the front lenses in millimeters.
Ariana92:
These binoculars magnify your view ten times. The 50 merely indicates the diameter of the objective lens (The big one) in millimetres.
Izabelle Spreadbury:
The diameter of the lens controls how much light it receives. If the ratio is 7×50 that is considered night vision because they pick up more light than the normal eye. 10×50 is comparable to 7×35 in light gathering. but magnifies. 10x is about the limit for normal people without a tripod.
