Nikon has an extensive and illustrious history in lens coatings that spans industries as diverse and specialized as photographic equipment, high precision instrumentation and micro-computer technology. This impressive heritage gives Nikon a unique expertise in the field of ultra thin coating technology for optical lenses.

Crafted in state-of-the-art Class 10,000 « clean-room » laboratory conditions, a condition no other manufacturer can claim, where no contaminants permeate the environment, Nikon coatings are the result of a rigorous process that ensures quality, durability, ease of maintenance and of course, unequalled optical performance.

Nikon lenses are available with Nikon’s famous Hard Clear Coat (HCC) which is actually a system of 3 molecularly bonded coatings in one. Nikon was the first in Canada to offer these 3 coatings on the same lens, designed specifically and systematically to adhere to each other and to the plastic lens so although others may claim to be the same, they are not! Only Nikon can give you the durability and performance associated with the Nikon brand.
