What is the short range focus for these binoculars?

I'm not sure I really understand the question. In my experience with these binoculars, you can focus them for pretty close range, but I couldn't say whether it's 100 ft or 500 ft.

I really do not know as these were purchased for my 7 year old grandson who is just starting to use them.

According to the specifications printed on the side of the box, the close focus for these binoculars is 26ft./8m. Hope this helps.

They are not as powerful as a full set of observational binoculars. I use them for viewing in my yard or across the street. You might want to go to a sporting store and just try some out to see what you think.

yes, they can, and after focusing them, they can be locked in position so that you don't have to continually refocus them. Very nice binoculars.

yeah, maybe. My monocular will focus as close as 20 feet (give or take) so the short answer is: it will work. However, for extended viewing periods, like at a concert, I consider a pair of small binoculars to be vastly (as in vastly) superior. Binocs offer less eye fatigue, easier to hold steady (because you use both hands) and better resolution using both eyes. The monocular is great for hiking where you simply want to see something up-close for a minute or two. If I was going to a concert, I would take my binoculars and leave this at home.

I think those are for binoculars that are 10x, 12X, 20X in power. Those are binocs more suited to astronomy. These have such a wide field of view that most people don't use them for astronomy.

They are actually very light weight. They give you adequate magnification. The only downfall I have noticed, is that they don't see great distances.

Yes, like many binoculars, you can adjust focus overall and then change one lens some more +/-. I have had these for about 4 months now and am pleased - I would buy them again. After looking in several stores, this was the best choice that I could find in low price range, and good sturdy quality.

Nothing - bought this for my 5yr old and ended up throwing it away. A good set of binoculars works better than this. My advice is return it if your within the return window (i was not)

No they are not zoom in the strictest sense of the word. They will focus on things near or far and do make things appear closer, these are great binoculars and I dont think anyone would be disappointed with them.

good question. there are two eyepieces. if you ask me the distance would be the equivalent of a 500mm lense without the zoom applied on the binocs.

Hello there! In response to your questions, first the weight. It would be difficult for me to say exactly how much it weights, but for binocularsthis size the are very light. The neck strap is quite robust and I have found it more than enough to support these binoculars. As for the focus, itis smooth and easy with center focus knob quite large. I think it is easy to focus with a finger. As for myself, I use them for bird watching andstar gazing. In my opinion these binoculars are excellent for both and I am very happy with them. I think you would be too. Hope this helpedyou. Good luck! Hello there! In response to your questions, first the weight.

I found out two things about the binoculars: (1) I can focus better when I leave my eye glasses on and (2) without my eye glasses I can see better if the I keep the binoculars back from my eyes a bit. Point 1 & 2 my be related. I am accustomed to other field glasses where the eye pieces are in direct contact with my face. This doesn't seem to work as well with these. Hope this helps.

I dont wanna be a negative Nelly here but these binoculars are not very clear or sharp at all.Maybe I just got a bum pair or something but I sent them back yesterday.Going with a different pair.So,to your question I would have to say NO from my experience.Good Luck.

The minimum focus distance is 0.15m. At that distance the magnification should be at least 1:1.

I purchased these binoculars for general scenery viewing. They are compact, not bulky, not too small, let in a lot of light, and have a big field of view, all of which make these just right for general viewing. I also think the 8X magnification is maximum, before the hand shake and narrower field of 10X and above affect the using experience.

They are a really good deal as far as being well constructed with a low price tag. That said, these are what I consider "basic" use binoculars. Any special use, like low light, you'd get better quality if you go up a little. I've used them at dusk, and they are very so-so. I still like them and would buy again.

I have a fairly strong prescription and I can take my glasses off and use them. I just use the focus knob and I can see well. We use them for bird watching. I've never been able to use binoculars with my glasses on.
