Hi Kenny,
Yes I remember we have earlier some year ago discussed this issue. Looking through a binocular, with for example 10x power, will not produce the FEELING of the objekt beeing 10x larger than the naked eye view. But try to read for example a licence plate of a car with 10x (providing the image is stable), you will then see that you can read it at much longer distance than 3.182 times as you can with naked eye. I realized that I could read licence plates with the Bushnell 5x25 of at least 3-4 times longer distance than naked eye, though the feeling of the image scale was maybe twice in comparison to the naked eye.
This means that the details possible to see with the 2,3x40 will be likely about twice than the naked eye (if taking in consider that any binocular actually will provide a worse image than the naked eye). And twice the resolution is comparable to the difference between 10x and 20x magnification of an optical glass. Which is very significant.
Regards, Patric
