This kind of coating indeed has more functions and as I said, I do miss it.... a little bit.About the ratings on allbinos.com: I don't think the 0.2 difference with Swaro has anything to do with the coating and even if it has than this repellant coating is just one of the things to decide about. The question would rather be: what are your priorities when you buy new alpha-bins besides the best view (and even this can be influenced by a combination of factors). Like in my case: I do think that SW has a fractional better view BUT I like the focusser of the EDG that much that I decided for the EDG. The only thing I would like to know is why Nikon doesn't use this coating and what effects they foresee if they would use it now.</blockquote>
