I was wondering the history of it and if it has changed significantly over the years and inadvertently discovered google timeline. The url was very long and seemed to cause my previews to be blank, but if you google 'Zeiss T* coating history' it shows up at the bottom of the first page.

It still wasn't clear to me however if it has changed from the Contax/Yashica releases to Z series or if the T* icon has been representative of a fixed formula. Eyeballing my Planars ZA and C/Y seems very similar indeed in that regard.

Curiously,


K.

T* is in constant evolution
I have AE with green reflection, MM with blue, new one are magenta to be less visible
the new coating T* XP used for the master primes series capture more details in shadows

A simple example of same lens different coating, one is AE and other very late MM.
Just to remark that my other MM don't have this reddish coating
