I have a lot of Carl Zeiss lenses, and over 20 Contax filters. All Contax filters are multicoated, with the possible exception of the linear POL and the Softars. This is in contrast with most Hoya, B+W and Heliopan filters, where you have to ask (and pay) specifically for MC versions and, in my experience, few places stock them. In my Contax system brochure they do _not_ explicitly state that the MC on the filters is T*, so I assume it is not. Contax filters are particularly well made. - --- Bob mailto:bob@web-options.com Thursday, July 26, 2001, 8:59:01 PM, you wrote: > Does anyone know who makes the filters for Contax?
