Well u photography pros will probably laugh at this question haha but everyone I've asked cannot give me an answer. If u put a 10x40 camera on a 10x40 spotting scope does it double or stay at 10x40?

What's a 10 x 40 camera? Does that exist. The 40 part is irrelevant in this question. It's simply the size of the end of the lens, which basically determines how much light is allowed in.

The 10x part is what matters here, but if you hook a 10x optical camera onto a 10x power spotting scope then YES you would double or have 20x power.
