Coated Lens A lens covered with a very thin layer of transparent material that reduces the amount of light reflected by the surface of the lens. A coated lens is faster (transmits more light) than an uncoated lens.
COATED LENS - A lens that has a thin layer of transparent substance applied to its surface to reduce light reflection from the surface.
coated lens
a camera lens that has been coated with an ultra-thin film, usually bluish in color to minimize glare or flare from extraneous lights not a color correction method.
-Coated lens - lens with air-glass surfaces which have been coated with magnesium fluoride to reduce lens flare.
Multicoated lens and filter surfaces
It's sometimes said that it's more difficult to clean multicoated lenses and filters than uncoated versions, but that isn't true.
8 multicoated lens (adapted to fit my trusty manual Minolta system) that allows me to take both indoor and outdoor shots when the subjects are comforable in a natural form and setting.
You've got coated lenses - why spend money on putting uncoated glass in front of them? Regular filters mean you're putting two reflective surfaces in front of your lens. Polarizers have four.
Since lens coatings are relatively fragile, one should always be careful when cleaning coated lens surfaces (like the front of the lens), so as not to scratch or smudge them.
Coated lens: A lens with coated surface such as magnesium fluoride to reduce flare.
Color conversion filters: Color filters used to correct the color temperature of a light source to suit the color balance of films.
Most used underwater lenses: Nikon 16mm, 14mm, 18mm, 20mm, 24mm, 28mm, 60mm and 105mm
Most used surface lenses: Nikon 14-24mm, 24-70mm, 70-200mm (all nano-coated lenses), 200-400mm, 600mm
Nikon SB-800 flash guns
Subal underwater housings ...
I found that those obiquitious lens tissues don't do much except make Kodak richer. In particular, I could never get those tissues and the accompanying lens solution to dry streak-free on any of my multi-coated lenses or filters.
