Lens Coatings
From Nikonians Wiki - FAQs, Photo Glossary, Good Photo Locations, Help
Thin anti-reflective materials applied to the surface of a lens in one or multiple layers, to help reduce light reflection and increase amount of transmitted light. Nikon Integrated Coating (NIC) has been improved to Nikon Super Integrated Coating (NSIC) to further enhance the performance of its optical lens elements. This new multi-layer lens coating helps to reduce ghosting and flare to a negligible level, minimizes reflection in the wider wavelength range and achieves superior color balance and reproduction. Especially effective for lenses with a large number of elements, like our Zoom-Nikkors.
