It was not muticoated, apparently. From the Third Party Lens megasite (URL not at hand): From third-party lens site: "I should mention that there were a few even faster 135mm f/1.8 and even f/1.5 lenses made by Vivitar in 1968, using the preset T-mount. But these lenses were much poorer performers optically than the later Series I 135mm f/2.3 lenses. Avoid them!"
From another discussion list, I think Yahoo's Club42: franka_lieu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat Feb 16, 2002 10:21 am Subject: Super fast M42 lens: "Vivitar did market a 135/1.5 but it seems that it never did make it out other than the paper ad. Sigma used to market their own version of the M42 mount 135/ 1.8 and its supposed to be marketed for their very first body (also M42 and must be collectable by now, reputed production is only short and limited ). Soligor used to market their 135/2.0 ( yes the one version that I do own ) and this is also the version that most encountered in US and Europe as either 2.0 or 1.8 ( but according to all the tech report they are just the same lens down to their diaphragm)." I have photos of most of these lenses, if anyone is interested. Some of these superfast 135mm lenses are available at http://www.kevincameras.com . I thought I saw a 135/1.5 there.
