"whatever we think we can get away with"[ Rules, ... rules--We don't need no stinkin' rules. ]Reviews of other/similar ones say more like 6x-8x. As for the objective lens size spec, "60", check the attached image (straight from this item's product page).But wait, there's more ...With the "night vision", you can even see the other side of the moon.

Well, the way I see it is I *might* get a usable, compact bench spotting scope, if not I'll have a $10 paperweight. Heck, I can spend more than that on beer at the VFW every evening......
Yep, Chinese Math...fitting a 60mm lens in a 55mm tube.....Magic!
I guess I got burned....I didn't get the tripod & phone adaptor and had to spend $0.54 USD for shipping!!
