  1. WHY is the manufacturer trying to BAMBOOZLE people by using the word “neutrino” in ” neutrino coating”????

    Neutrino is an elementary particle and many scientists are conducting research in trying to discover it!!

    Since “The rest mass of the neutrino is much smaller than that of the other known elementary particles” using it “coat” lens elements is NONSENSE!!!
