I nearly fell off the sofa when this TV ad came on. I've seen it several times now. Behold, the OPTIC1050! It magnifies 1000%! Shatterproof lenses! You can see up to 35 miles! ... and it's only $29.95! But wait, there's more... Be sure to watch the video. Very educational. I had to think about that 1000% for a second...   1x = 100%      2x = 200%...   QED 10x = 1000% ... honesty in advertising afterall. -------------------- - david 8"Ø Newtonian on SVP, Moonlite CR2, Telrad PST Oberwerk Ultra 15x70 Orion Ultraview 10×50 Hand-me-down Sears Refractor (Discoverer) 60mm×900mm "What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world, remains and is immortal." --Albert Pike Post Extras       Entire thread Subject Posted by Posted on TV Ad for binoculars... dgs© 07/09/08 07:16 PM Re: TV Ad for binoculars...
