Cinema Cliché Binoculars

When someone is depicted looking through a pair of binoculars in the cinema, inevitably the view shows two touching circles, with the image displayed as a panorama in wide angle format.

When you look through "real" binoculars, this is not the case, as we all know, until now.

With the Cinema Cliché Binoculars, what you see when you look through them is a replica of the cinema view format. This is because their internal mirrors and optics have been modified, so that they not only provide the parallax of conventional binoculars, but they do so in wide angle, double circle cinema format.

       A wiff of smoke will blur the edges realistically, and the mirrors will take care of the rest :-)

       //you can't traditionally have both have a long focal length (i.e. magnification)//   

       //their internal mirrors and optics have been modified, so that they not only provide the parallax of conventional binoculars, but they do so in wide angle, double circle cinema format.//   

       The description doesn't say anything about magnification. Anyway, who cares?
