I would imagine it is pricey - and risky. Unless there are new processes I
haven't heard of, they all involve an application with the glass heated to a
very high temperature so there us the risk of damage to the glass from this
alone. When lenses are manufactured the ones that suffer catastrophy in the
coating process are simply written off and the cost absorbed into the
general QC losses of the maker.

Subject: [OM] Multicoating old lenses
Is it possible to multicoat an old lens? Say, if you have a single coat
lens, can Olympus (or someone else) multicoat the lens? Obviously
I am talking about lenses without damage to the glass. If it is possible,
is it cost prohibitive and/or a stupid idea?
Pete
