This is one area that coatings can help and I know some of the larger Nikon telephotos have those coatings.

Zeiss, Swarovski and Leica all put coatings on their top end binoculars that make the water bead up and roll off by itself. They work well - I have a pair of Swaro EL 8.5 x 42 that have it.

I suppose it would add to the cost of the lenses and there are enough complaints about that round here already....
