Boasting large, light-grasping objectives along with greater viewing power than delivered by 8x optics, the 8.5x50 Diamondback lets you close in on details missed by others. These Diamondbacks provide the combination of higher magnification and ultimate brightness that is needed by the truly dedicated hunter, and most certainly preferred by the experienced and sure-handed birder. The Diamondback features a rugged roof prism binocular. The waterproof, dustproof and internally fogproof design features an internal focusing mechanism, O-rings at all open points and nitrogen purging.
Fully multi-coated optics increase light transmission for higher image quality in all lighting conditions - enhanced for 2009. BaK-4 prisms provide sharp images from one edge of the broad viewing field to the other. Phase corrected prisms (increasing light transmission by 7%) deliver sharp, greatly contrasted images. The eyecups on the Diamondback binocular twist up and down so any viewer can take advantage of the long eye relief and enjoy comfortable, full-field viewing. Whether your adventure takes you across rocky, sand-carved terrain, or into the high timber of the Rockies, you can trust the rock-solid performance of the Diamondback binocular. The Diamondback's protective rubber coating gives you a sure grip that is easy to handle, even as fingers grow numb in the cold. In addition, the retractable Diamondback eyecups feature a soft, tapered style for a more natural fit at your eye - cushioned with rubber for years of relaxed viewing.
