You are correct, Richard. The second and third elements which were glued to 
form one element, were replaced in the multicoated version by a single element 
the same size and shape as the glued combo. I presume the manufacturing 
technology improved. The 85mm also gained two millimeters in physical length. 
Must have been the thickness of the multicoating. :-)
