Feature and Benefit

T* Coatings

These lenses have renowned T* coatings, which enhance light transmission and contribute to improved contrast even in challenging light conditions. At the time of their introduction, these multi-coatings represented cutting-edge optical technology, significantly reducing reflections and glare. While modern coatings have continued to evolve since the 1970s, the durability and scratch resistance of the T* coatings contribute to the lasting performance and reliability of these vintage lenses.
