Previously little information was available about what brands of miniature binoculars had been made, in what powers, or who made them. My research has amassed a fair amount of information. Vorher waren wenig Informationen verfügbar über, welche Marken von Miniaturferngläsern gemacht worden waren. Oder wer die Ferngläser herstellte. Meine Forschung hat einen angemessenen Betrag Informationen angesammelt. Précédemment peu d'information était disponible au sujet de quelles marques des jumelles miniatures avaient été faites, ou qui les a faites. Ma recherche a trouvé beaucoup d'informations. 以前は、どのような小型双眼鏡のブランドが作られたか、どの倍率で作られたのか、誰がそれらを作ったのかについての情報はほとんどなかった。私の研究では相当量の情報が蓄積されています. Ранее было мало информации о том, какие марки миниатюрных биноклей были сделаны, в каком увеличении или кто их создал. В моем исследовании накоплен достаточный объем информации
