Hat Tip: Fstoppers
Nikkor has developed a new fluorine coating for its lenses.
The ability to protect the lens from contamination is impressive. It also cuts down on reflection which increases clarity.
My guess is that the process is too expensive right now for the coating to be used on anything except the most expensive Nikon lenses. It will probably migrate to other lenses as the company refines the process.
The only drawback I can see is that the coating will basically eliminate lens flare. Lens flare can be used to create interest in an otherwise boring scene and image editing programs just don't recreate the appearance of actual lens flare.
