Is AF Nikkor 80-200 1:1.28ED UV coated?

Hy, I wonder is the AF Nikkor 80-200 1:1.28ED UV coated?

Thanks

I don't think any lens is UV coated but all will eliminate most UV anyway. To eliminate it 100% use a UV filter.

Hmmm, I'm usually on a similar thought pattern as Hal so now I'm confused. But, my understanding was that all modern lenses use UV coated elements. That's one of the arguements oft made by the 'anti-protective filter folks'--that we don't need UV protection and that adding a filter just degrades the image further.

 

I think we'll need a better informed authority to specificaly answer this question as I certainly can't claim any first hand knowledge of what any lens is coated or not coated with.

There's quite a bit of information on UV photography and transmittance of lenses on http://www.naturfotograf.com/index2_PC.html.

 

Enjoy!

I understand that most modern lenses have some UV filtering

due to the cement that binds elements into groups. Lenses

intended for UV photography are purpose designed to focus

correctly with UV and dont use a cement with this property.

One thing I can tell you first hand is that my UV coated glasses

absorb more UV than an Nikon L37c UV filter. Id like to try

an L39 or 2B but I dont own either.<br>

Thanks, maybe I should refrase my question?

 

Is UV coating prakticed in glass coatings (of lenses), and if yes, to what ammount?

Also I will hit google, but someone maight know; is there a way to find out what coating they use in glases (of Nikkor)and in which ellement, and also what suptances they mix into the glass.

"...glases (of Nikkor)and in which ellement..."

Of course of specified XY lens, but any ansver is welcome!

When I referred to glasses above I meant eyeglasses.

 

Hope ths helps,

Thanks David H,

I understood the "glass" thing, what I meant is glass like the part of the whole lens. When they evaporate the lens they evaporate with different substances. I thought maybe there is a data sheet or web page that you can read about these substances that they use...Nikon preferably!
