Nico 065 binoculars are these coated?

I have a great deal of experience with optics (I design military optical systems for a living), and as I angle these binocs in various light sources I don't see any tint that would indicate to me that they are coated.

Hi, Gerald. Nikon says the lenses are "multi-coated." The lens have a bluish cast but do not have that orangish cast you see in some of the more expensive binoculars. As a side note: I am somewhat of a minimal user, meaning my binoculars spend more time in the drawer than in my hands. Nonetheless, I satisfied with these binoculars. Last weekend, we took them to a college football game at which we sat directly behind the goal posts. Both my wife and I were amazed at the clarity and sharpness of the view compared to the little sports binoculars we used to use. Earlier this summer we watched a lot of wildlife at an upstate New York lake. Again, sharp and satisfying. Hi, Gerald. Nikon says the lenses are "multi-coated."

They say they have and anti-reflective coating. I'm not sure what they are coated with.

The photo does seem outdated, but our stock is definitely the VI. I would imagine that it will depend on whom you order from, but by the title and part number you SHOULD receive the VI 7278 binoculars from all sellers.

As far as I know they are waterproof and fog proof. This is something Swarovski is proud of besides their incredible optical clarity even in low light. I have been truly thrilled with these binos. You don't have to pay this much for good binos but with Swarovski you have a lifetime guarantee. I figure I will be passing these down to my children which is more than I can say for the numerous other $3-400 binos I have purchased before. I am turning 65 and I figure that if not then when will I finally get top binos after forty years of birding. You won't regret this purchase.

No they are not. They are water and fog proof. The Monarch Nikon binoculars do have the nitrogen. The Monarch cost double . I have the Prostaff 7 and love them. Very clear I have been very pleased with them.

yes, they are well coated and everything. As a suggestion, try to keep the power cords perpendicular to the audio cords for best isolation.

Yes, they come with a very nice case and a special strap. Go to the Vanguardworld website and they have pictures of the case and strap. ALSO - don't forget Vanguard has a $50 Rebate good until Dec 2013! Go to their website and do a search for "Rebate" to find the downloadable pdf $50 Rebate Coupon. Wonderful binoculars - amazing for the price and a rebate to boot! Enjoy! dc

The Action series of Nikon binoculars are nitrogen filled, which means they will not develop moisture inside the barrels or on the inside of the lens. The Action series is also waterproof, fog-proof, and shock-proof. Thus they are more rugged, cost more, weigh slightly more than Aculon Nikno binoculars series.

I bought some plain filters to use with the binoculars simply to protect the lens from getting scratch. The binoculars come with screw threads at the lens end so by looking in the specifications you can identify what size and thread type to get. They are very easy to install. Once installed, the supplied lens caps actually fit better and do not fall off so easily as they attach better to the filters I screwed in than they do to the binoculars themselves without the filter. I'd say buying the filters was worth it for the cost involved, they are quite cheap and provide good insurance for an expensive pair of binoculars.

Mine came in a lightly brushed (not shiny), unpadded vinyl case with shoulder strap - not the old 1960's hard case. It's adequate for carrying, but not banging around. Good binoculars.

Hi Daniel, No, they are not coated in this package. I think only the esoteric ones are coated but they are not individually packaged. Good luck!

The manufacturer has described them as powder coated. Please let me know if there is anything else i can do for you or if you have any questions.Sincerely,Shannon

They are not coated. I found them to be quite good! I've used them in baking & as is with some almond butter, coconut butter, or just stuffed with a pecan!

They are slightly tinted. I like them. I got the cobalt blue one. Maybe the othe colors have different lenses, i do not know.

Yes they are coated. They are small. It is a gentle massage but it is also relaxing.

No they are not coated, they are a bit powdery but they are not large. I do not have a problem getting them down.

Yes, they are plastic coated. This is a really good quality, hard-to-find, product.

I'm sorry, but i cannot answer your question because shortly after getting my binoculars they were taken by the Federal Transportation person from my luggage, so i hardly had a chance to use them. The government's response so far has been, "Sue us!" I may. What I as a naive traveler learned is never pack binoculars in checked luggage.
