    I want diamond optics for my camera, unless that is stupid for the physics of optics.

      Pretty sure the lines of cleavage would make it pretty difficult to get a useful lense shape made out of the stuff.

      Diamond doesn’t have the best absorption spectrum compared to high quality optical glass. You’d end up losing more light.
