No!
The difference is a rubber focusing ring and, perhaps, a loss of
mechanical build quality. I have some of both and prefer the feel of the old
S-M-C over the later SMC.

Subject: M42: SMC or Super-Multi-Coated?
> I have heard that there are optical differences between some screw mount
lenses marked SMC and those marked Super-Multi-Coated. Is this true? I have
never actually seen a screw mount lens other than a 50mm or 55mm that was
marked SMC, but I remember reading somewhere that there was a 200mm SMC that
suposadly was better than the Super-Multi-Coated version.
