Fluorine lens coating

[gregbradley]

A fabulous new invention being promoted by Nikon.

It would seem to be good news if it worked on telescope objectives. Cleaning the lens would never be a problem again.

Thats pretty neat. They need to have that on all exterior glass elements.

Does it hinder the light transmission at all?

[Joshua Bunn (Joshua)]

imagine that on the windscreen of cars or windows in a house... sorry

looks neat

I've seen other manufacturers mention "fluorine" coatings before.

To be honest im not sure what difference Nikons Nano Crystal coat makes, i still get ghost/flares in some of my images.

Pentax and Canon have been using the stuff for years.
