Phase Coating on Nikon Roof Prisms
Too All:
It looks like Mike has managed to get Nikon's website straightened out on which Roof Prism binoculars Nikon makes have Phase Coating and which ones do not.
To keep it short the only Roof Prism binoculars that Nikon makes that do not state that they have Phase Coatings are the PROSTAFF 5 series. They are also Nikon's least expensive Roof Prism binoculars. All the other series state that they have Phase Coatings. Look for it in the TECH SPECS.

You can find this information in the Tech Specs with each binocular. If they have phase coatings it will say they do.
Here is thanks to Mike for getting this information glitch on Nikon's website cleared up!:t::t:

Bob,
After a bit of thought and re-reading the post I was thinking the PROSTAFF 7 binocular is a better comparison to the Vortex Crossfire II. The price is only $20 more and includes FMC lenses and PC prisms. Just throwing a thought out there. The 8x42 PROSTAFF 5 is $159. Take care.
All the best,
Mike
