What is the difference between 16mm & 12mm on a Pard / Sytong

Difference between 12mm & 16mm Pard / Sytong

 

The 12mm is the focal length of the lens in the camera of the rear add on. A 12mm equals a lower magnification and a wider field of view this pairs with lower power scopes such as a 3-12x 

The 16mm equals a high base magnification with a narrower field of view this pairs well with higher magnification scopes such as 6-12x 

Exact base magnification will have to be looked at each manufactures specifications - The majority of people, either spec will work with both scopes but you may have to use the built in digital zoom for it to get the field of view to pair correctly. 

 

12mm better for low mag scopes (E.G 3-12x)

16mm scopes is better for high mag scopes (6-24x)
