How close to the subject can I sit & still have it in sharp focus? Could I use these opera glasses to watch television in a small room?

To be more thorough, I stepped about 10 feet away from my television and tried to use them and they actually hurt my eyes. I would say you might want to be more than 20-30 feet away. And that's just a guess. I think they are made for people who are sitting pretty far back.

This TV requires active 3D glasses. They don't need to be Sharp. You need to check compatability on other brand's product website. Having said that, I bought the top of the line Sharp glasses and am very happy with them.

I would say no. The magnifier must be too close to the subject to bring it into focus. You'd want much more distance if starting a fire.

It's a microscope, so it seems to work best close up; otherwise you don't have magnification. With that said, I can focus in the lower magnification on an object about 1 meter away, but it isn't really magnified. The higher magnification requires me to be almost touching to focus. This isn't very scientific, I don't know enough about lens math to be, so I just tried it out around the room.

The magnification is too high to project a book onto a television. There is a disk with words that you use to focus the Eyeclops, and looking at it, you only see a letter or two on the screen at once. With VERY small print, you might see a word at a time, but every time you move it, it has to re-focus. I doubt it would be very practical for reading a book.

My wife typically uses them without her glasses and rests them on the bridge of her nose. She tried them today with her glasses on and said she rested them on the glass of the eyeglass lens and it wasn't as comfortable. She felt she could see the objects being viewed "closer" w/o her glasses. Said she doesn't need her glasses when using the binocs - she just focuses and "observes" She uses them for birdwatching - so far in our backyard - birds are about 50-75 feet away at a feeder.

I would certainly think so. I assume you're talking about a sit down and enjoy the music kind of concert and not one where people are being thrown around. They are larger than opera glasses so would not fit in a pocket or small handbag (larger purse is fine). They do come with a case and strap and are light enough they are comfortable around the neck. I have only used them in daylight, but would think they would be fine in low light/spotlight venues as well.

Wish I could help you but I wear contacts. No problem there. I've used binoculars when I had glasses and I know they can be focused to match your vision. But....how will a picture come out? I would be worried about that, but in all honesty that's a little over my head. Good luck.

My vision is not that far out however I have issues with small print and it is exactly what I use them for is reading. the multiple lens should give you a good match. I wear over my glasses also.

I purchased 12 of these for my passive 3d tv's at my business. They are Sceptre brand tv's... which are 'budget' tv's. As long as your Sharp TV is for 'passive' 3d then it should work just fine. If your TV is 'active' 3d then you'll need the $100 pair of glasses. Hope that helps. -Craig

Hi,no, my mom (to whom I bought the glasses) only use it to watch tv. But according to her description, the glasses probably may be useful in the opera too, adjusting de rotary knob as neccesary. She tried using them trough the window of her room, looking at the nearest buildings that are close to her apartment, and told me that the glass

I'm missing something in your question.If you want a spotting scope for the MINIMUM focus range, why not just use your eyeballs for that close-in range? Or a pair of plastic 'opera glasses' from the dollar store?

I tried mine and I could focus at 5 ft, &gt;BUT&lt;, the image is magnified and I can't see the edges of the TV screen. If I was looking at a 12 inch TV, I could probably see the whole screen. No large and still be comfotable watching.

I would think you could. My wife wears her's with her glasses. I am not sure if it could diminish the volume.

I wouldn't. Not if you are going to be sitting a normal distance away from it. The text will not be sharp enough. If you aren't going to do any reading on it then "maybe..." Like if it were dedicated to look at some graphics from a distance like in a conference room.

Just noting that you have gotten 100% ignorant answers since the relevant difference is that you'd be in the dark, while sporting events are in the light. 30mm is plenty big enough to let in adequate light. Most opera glasses are 25mm. This item is listed as a good choice here: http://www.bestbinocularsreviews.com/opera-binoculars-theatre-glasses.php

I don't really know the answer to that. I use it for the opera and it works well. I'd like something that is a bit more powerful but didn't want to spend the money. As Barbara said, they work well if you have glasses.
