It has higher spec compared to binocular which is 240/D. So with your 10x40mm and assuming 115/D would result in 3.83 arcsecond resolving power.. while mainstream binos would have 8 arcsecond resolving power. So if your 10x40mm is twice better in resolving power to normal binos. Then it should resolve more. Have you only tested it in resolving double stars? Were you saying the standard 10x40mm can't resolve some stars??About my Df 8x30mm with serial number #B82.. it is made in 2012. At 6pm almost nighttime, it can still resolve and show good contrast viewing the wall textures of the neighbors.. whereas other binos would no longer show any contrast. If I exchange it to the standard black should Binostore allows. I don't want the standard one to show less detail than this. Hope you can get ideas from the IWA you will attend if these were indeed military Habichts or Saudi civilian hunters Habicht and whether the civilian version is also Milspec optical tolerant. Thank you.</blockquote>
