About this product
Model: vortex_db_8x32_DB-212
Part Number: DB-212
The Vortex Diamondback series of binoculars was first updated in 2016 with improved optics, dielectric prism coatings and a 10% lighter body. For this newest model, they have added HD glass lens elements for enhanced resolution, reduced chromatic aberration, more accurate colour fidelity, improved edge-to-edge sharpness and higher light transmission.
All models include a rainguard, tethered lens covers and, of course, the Vortex Unlimited Lifetime Warranty (when purchased from an authorised UK stockist, such as ourselves) 🙂
OPTICAL FEATURES
- HD Lens Elements: Extra-low dispersion glass delivers impressive resolution and colour fidelity.
- Fully Multi-Coated Optics: All air-to-glass surfaces are fully multi-coated for higher light transmission and increased contrast.
- Dielectric Coated Prisms: Multi-layer Dielectric prism coatings provide bright, clear, colour-accurate images.
CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
- Roof Prism: Valued for greater durability and a more compact size.
- Argon Gas Fogproofing: Superior Argon gas purging prevents internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures.
- Waterproof: O-ring seals prevent moisture, dust, and debris from penetrating the binoculars, ensuring reliable performance in all environments.
- Rubber Armour: Provides a secure, non-slip grip and durable external protection.
CONVENIENCE FEATURES
- Multi-Position Eyecups twist up and down to precise, intermediate settings to maximise custom fit for comfortable viewing with or without spectacles.
- Eye Diopter adjustment is located on the right eyepiece.
- It includes a thread for a tripod adapter, enabling use on a tripod or car window mount (the tripod adapter is available to buy separately).
