My first SWC was a late 1960s chrome lens T*, I also saw/owned chrome 50/4 
and 80/2.8 T* lenses - the latter was the best 80mm I ever saw, preferred 
the 100mm personally.

It also came out in 1971 I see now.

The Hasselblad lenses the next year had T* on them which indicated the same 
thing though Hasselblad claimed they'd been doing that previously a bit 
anyway for a year previously. Soon any lens which was not super multi coated 
or T starred was not worth a hill of beans in this crazy world. Other 
companies had other nomenclatures.
