What the numbers mean - 8x21
The 1st number is the magnification, the 2nd is the diameter of the front (objective) lens.
The larger the 1st number, the closer the subject will come, however as you increase power, you will also get less clarity, less width of view and more shake. As a rule, the higher the power, the shorter the time you can comfortably view through the optic. 8x - 10x is perfect for general use. Above 12x most people would need a tripod!
The larger the 2nd number, the brighter the image will be, and the more detail and clarity you will see, however as you increase size, the monocular will become bigger and heavier, and so less portable.
This size, (8x power - 21mm diameter) produces a very compact, convenient optic, with very good general purpose power. 8x is comfortably hand-holdable, with a wide width or 'field' of vision, so subjects can be found easily, and viewed for a long time.
