But he got a new expensive Hasselblad UV multicoated filter which was always on the lens... he seemed to be under the impression that as his front surface was multicoated; so was the whole lens. or something like that... You couldn't get him to take the thing off. [Austin] Hi Mark, Well, this one is the 182nd one made (1954), and it is certainly pre T*... It's really a Supreme Wide Angle...which pre-dates the Super Wide Angle... The coating is soft as, well, it's soft ;-) I use an original correct vintage UV filter (drop in, not screw mount...facing the correct way now, so I don't damage the NEW coating I had John put on it), in keeping with the spirit of the item... Perfect pictures, no flare no nuttin but great pictures. If you haven't used one of these, I urge you to give it a try... Austin
