LotuTecŪ Lens Coating
Whether you’re out in the field in heavy rain or entrenched in a bug-infested swamp waiting for the perfect opportunity to arise, the last thing that should interfere with the moment is water and dirt on your lenses. Like a lotus leaf, LotuTecŪ coating on the objective and ocular lenses repels water so efficiently that raindrops literally roll right off the glass. And the super smooth lens surface can be easily wiped clean without smearing or damaging the optics. As a testament to its superiority over other lens coatings, ZEISS LotuTecŪ was honored with the prestigious Gray’s Best award, recognized as the only optical process that allows lenses to shed water completely. So that even in the heaviest downpours your lenses will remain free from water and dirt, and the view will be as impeccable as ever.


The Security Blanket That Covers Your Lens

With LotuTec: Zeiss LotuTecŪ coating sheds water, dirt, grease,
and grime. Lens can be easily wiped clean without smearing.
LotuTecŪ water shedding
Without LotuTec: Moisture, dirt, and grease collect on the lens, covering the surface and severely impairing clear vision.
LotuTecŪ



Without LotuTecŪ
Due to the low contact angle, moisture, dirt, and grease collect and adhere to the lens. Water drops flatten and severely impair clear vision.



With LotuTecŪ
A high contact angle allows moisture to ball and roll right off the lens on contact for clear vision that is never blurred by water.
