Default How about Aquadura on filters?

Seems to me that UV filters (or IR filters for M8) coated with Leica's new hydrophobic Aquadura would be pretty nifty. Water drops shake off and it's fingerprint resistant as well.

Probably would make paying for the Leica filter more palatable as well.

David -

It sounds like an excellent idea, and a possible source of additional revenue for Leica. I hope Dr. Kaufman reads this thread.

I agree. The Oakley specs I use for cycling have a hydrophobic coating that's just amazing - rain and sweat simply run off, leaving no trace. Having used and abused the Oakleys most weekends for about a year, I can say the coating appears to be durable too.

I wonder however, if used in a photographic application, such a coating might cause problems - opacity, colour aberration, artefacts etc. Great idea though.
