Hope the operation goes well Graham.
You'll be able to move faster than those trains when it is done. :-)


re the scope and the V1 camera.
If you get the scope details - magnification then you can calculate the focal length and then apply a x3 magnification for the V1 sensor you get the FF camera equivalent.


The numbers on a binocular describe its configuration. Let's take 8—50 binoculars as an example. The first number (8) refers to the magnification, or, how many times closer an object will appear when looking through the binocular compared to looking at the same object with the naked eye. The second number (50) indicates the diameter of the objective lens (the light-gathering lens) in millimeters.

To calculate the focal length of the lens.
This depends on the physical properties of the lens, but it is typically at least 4 times the width of the lens.

The focal length of the lens for a pair of binoculars 8x50 will be a 8x50=400 then with the Nikon V12 it will be a 400 x3 = 1200mm on a FX camera.
