I was comparing the Diamondbacks to the Monarchs...both roof prism bins.Also, and FWIW, I was just out back with the Elite EDs. I had put them aside for a bit to tinker around with a few other models. After picking them back up I am again impressed by their brightness and their apparent sharpness. For the former, the day is rather dull and gloomy right now. We have a large rainy low pressure system working its way up the coast. The day is anything but bright and cheery. The view through the Elite EDs is the polar opposite. Images are bright and crisp. As for the latter, I was just focusing on a breadbox sized rock in my backyard. I could clearly see the little "craters" along its surface at a distance of about 15 yards (meters). Impressive. Impressive indeed.Now I really hope to compare them to those Hawke Frontier EDs whenever they show up.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
