Hi, The lens I have is certainly coated. It may not have been done the way Pentax do their SMC lenses, but it looks okay to me. By the way, the coating of most lenses is made up of more than one layer. Pentax refer to their coating as 'Super' but there is no evidence to support the belief that it is better than that found on lenses by Zeiss, Leitz, Canon, Nikon and the rest.
