Review: CROSSFIRE ou Diamondblack? - O produto é excelente e a marca se sustenta por si só. Como já tive o modelo CROSSFIRE 10X50 tbm, devo dizer que pela diferença de preço aqui no Brasil, não vale a pena comprar o Diamondblack. As imagens captadas são bem próximas. Nos EUA a diferença de valores são somente 10 dólares e aqui no Brasil 1000 reais

## Features

- 12x magnification & 50mm objective lenses, these Diamondback HD binos are optimized with select glass elements to deliver exceptional resolution, cut chromatic aberration and provide outstanding color fidelity, sharpness and light transmission.
- Fully multi-coated lenses increase light transmission with anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces. Dielectric coating provides bright, clear, color-accurate images. Armortek coating protects exterior lenses from scratches, oil and dirt.
- Adjustable eyecups twist up and down for comfortable viewing with or without eyeglasses. Center focus wheel adjusts the focus of both binocular barrels at the same time. Diopter (located on right eyepiece) adjusts for differences in a user's eyes.
- Rubber armor provides a secure, non-slip grip, and durable external protection. Binoculars are tripod adaptable allowing use on a tripod or car window mount.
- Argon purging and o-ring seals provide water and fogproof performance in all environments. Rugged construction withstands recoil and impact. Includes GlassPak harness.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow, just wow!
*by P***. on 18 October 2021*

I have used Vortex optics for years, mostly riflescopes, and more lately Spotting scope and these Binos. These are the first vortex product I have purchased from there “HD” range. I was sceptical at first, but once I looked through these I was left speechless. The quality of the image can only really be appreciated when viewed for yourself.
