Engravings German WW1 naval binos (1 Viewer)

As with all binocular fields measured in angles of degrees or radians, these are spherical or circular measures.

Expressing fields of view in linear terms, say metres, is imagining a flat plane or linear measure.

As the binocular field gets wider there is more of a difference.

However, here the fields are modest.

The number N will be modified to correct for these differences.

A radian is an arc equal to the radius of a circle.

That is 360 degrees divided by 2 Pi or 57.295 degrees.
