My guess is that Pentax would actually engrave 'SMC' on ALL lenses
that had that specific coating.
It's almost a certainty that because of the widely recognized optical
performance associated with that coating, they could charge more for
one so marked, at least in my view... <g>

It's my guess that if it ISN'T SMC coated, it still has a coating, and
in 99% of the cases, you'd never see the difference in any of your output...
Enjoy it!
