[QUOTE="OPTIC_NUT, post: 3215691, member: 121951"] The Japanese didn't talk much about binocular coatings. They did crow a lot over the related camera coatings, and photo buffs go on and on about the subtle differences in the early multi-coats. The photo guys are the 'Rosetta Stone' of Japanese coatings. SMC/Takumars fetch a high price today. The color rendition is legendary. Having some Takumar and SMC/Takumar 35mm lenses lying around has been helpful in stitching it all together. Today it is possible to have both high transmission and excellent filtering, but the market pressure is too ignorant at the moment. A few makers stick to their guns for at least the first surface. I have to curtail my acquisitions now. One can only use so many super-field binocs. It was addictive picking up the best for pittance. Shipping&handling will eat you given enough quantity, though. The world supply will recover in a while ;-) [/QUOTE]
