Doug,

Zeiss is the one who developed their T* coating at the same time Pentax 
developed Super Multi-Coating (and maybe even in cooperation with them).

Do you know what elements or what lenses have multi-coating?

As far as I know Leitz began multi-coating where it would make a
significant difference before Pentax publicized the OCLI
"Super-multi-coating" process on their lenses.
