According to Nikon's german web page, the EDG 85 (A) does not have a filter thread: http://www.nikon.de/de_DE/product/s.../edg-fieldscopes/edg-fieldscope-85#fragment-2
Nevertheless I would not be surprised if this information was not correct - sometimes I doubt that Nikon is seriously interested in its own sports optics lineup. At least my ED 82A is equipped with a filter thread of 86mm and I use a B+W UV MRC filter as a lens protector without any problems.
Hi forent hi Jerry,
thank you for the informations. I have the EDG85A and it has a filter thread... Thats why i am asking here in the forum. I have seen the false information on the nikon-website, too ;-)
Because of the informations from forent, i will try to get a large filter... I think it must be a bigger one than the 86mm... But which one..?!
Best wishes Sebastian
Hi Horukuru,
i do not have the manual for the scope :-(, i have bought it second hand without the original papers... I think i will be able to measure it the next days with a caliper .
Best wishes
Sebastian
