Hello Peter, Henry and everyone ...
Today I tested it, first the absolute near point of my Fujinon 10x50 is exactly 15,40m, that would confirm the measurement of Gijs and EdZ if you take into account the series spread and the different eyes of the users.
To try the size differences, I have a large apple 16m. distance positioned on a table, a Conquest 10x32 and a FL 10x56 served as comparison binoculars.
And indeed, the apple appeared noticeably larger in Conquest and FL than in Fujinon, so I have to revise my statements made yesterday!
At a distance of around 30m. the apple in the roofs was always a little bigger, at around 40m. this effect disappeared at 50m. I could no longer perceive any differences in size.
So I can agree with Peter and Henry, I also see objects in the roof a little larger at close distances, even if this effect does not go quite as far as with Henry.
Later I compared the Conquest and FL, also here the same, a battery on the table at a distance of 4.50 m was visibly larger in the Conquest.
Since I usually only use binoculars for medium to long distances,(especially the Fujinon) I have actually never noticed this effect, learned something again, thank you gentlemen!
