Iscorama 36 non-MC: does it exist?

[mdominic20]

I've searched the forum but I can't find a clear answer about this one.  

If a 36 has the "MC" written on it, obviously it's multicoated.

If it doesn't have the "MC" written on it, does that mean it's single-coated?  Or did they just make multicoated lenses without the "MC" label for a while?

Does anyone own a 36 that's definitely single-coated?

Thanks for your help!

The 36 without MC is not MC It is simply the same lens like the old original Iscorama. Later they made the 36-MC

read this from Andrew Reid (he has one) in that link below:

" It isn’t the multi-coated MC version. "

Listing photo. Looks non-MC (single coated) like the Pre-36.

Seems to be the best of both lenses, rear element size and Non-MC.

 

This may be an extreme opposite, but it serves:

Thanks guys!

 

So if it doesn't say "MC," it might be single coated or it might be multicoated.  That ebay listing looks nice, and definitely looks single coated.  The price seems a little crazy though, compared to other lenses I have seen being sold.

The Cinegon is a single coated 36 as well
