This article is mostly on target. The fact remains though that
Pentax was the first photo lens manufacturer to offer multicoating
on all of its lenses after 1971 (Takumar K, Takumar F, and Cosmicar
don't count). Nikon did not start using NIC (their version of
multicoating) until 1974. Since most manufacturers other than Leica
licensed the technolgy from Pentax, it may be reasonable to assume
that they were following Pentax lead rather than the other way
around.
