Fluorine Coating

For photographers who often work in adverse weather conditions, dirt or dust on the lens surface can directly affect the quality of their work. Fluorine coating, which is applied on top of the anti-reflective coating on the lens surface, makes it easy to remove any dirt from the lens. The coating is highly oil- and water-repellent, yet maintains optical transparency. Any smudge or oil on the lens surface can be easily removed by wiping with a dry cloth, with no need for lens cleaner or solvent. Static electricity caused by dry-wiping is also reduced, and the extremely smooth surface does not scratch easily.

Since dust or dirt on the lens surface can be quickly and easily removed, the photographer can spend less time worrying about keeping the lens perfectly clean, and instead concentrate more on shooting. Since most smudges can be removed with just a blower and a cloth, camera kits can be made more compact. This new coating technology delivers a multitude of benefits for the busy photographer.

Notes:

• If dirt and dust get onto the lens surface, always clean with a blower before directly wiping with a cloth.
• If the surface is wiped with lens cleaner or solvent, the high oil- and water-repellency may cause solvent to bead, preventing it from drying and making it difficult to wipe off.
