We got two pairs here new, during a store closure deal last year because the Diafun was so lightweight and that made it a good bin for kids. I was unable to find a word about phase coating in the paperwork that came with the bins. The impressed letters in the Diafuns just show "T*" and "B". I have a slightly older pair of Zeiss 8x30s that show "T*", "B" and "P" impressions in the rubber coating which I thought indicated phase coatings.The Better View Desired review of the Diafun seemed to dance all around the phase coating issue and then they jumped right up and said the comparable Pentax roofer Was phase coated so I had to wonder.<a href="http://www.betterviewdesired.com/Roof-prism-Binoculars-for-500.php" target="_blank">http://www.betterviewdesired.com/Roof-prism-Binoculars-for-500.php</a>I had heard before that some Diafuns were phase coated and some weren't and I didn't know which model I had. But if there is some location on the web where I can read about the Diafun's phase coatings I would appreciate it if I could read up on it. That could make my interest in the 8x28 Bushnell Excursions moot. Thank you</blockquote>
