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.
