According to Dr Neil Wright's 'A lens collector's Vade Mecum 2nd edition' 
'The first antireflection-coated lenses were probably Zeiss Sonnars but 
again it would be hard to be definite here. And the first advanced 
multicoated lenses may well be the Leitz Summilux f1.4 35mm but there are 
other possibilities'

Well what are the other possibilities?

(who had two 35/1.4s and thought they were like condensated coke bottles 
wider than f4.0, though the earlier M3 black one was somewhat less 
horrendous)
