Can some one let me know if this mirror will work correctly with 25x100 AOE binoculars. Everywhere I read max mentioned magnification is x20
If they say it is suitable for 20X probably means it actually starts to lose sharpness at 15X . These things are just float glass, not optically ground and polished flat...by optical grade they mean freedom from scratches not super flat . Being only 6mm thick it would be impossible to polish to any great flatness on a 20" X 20" piece.
