SMC coatings improved from the time they were introduced in 1976 or so
but will still a multi coating, (and really Super). Supposedly the new
HD coatings have more in common with the new nano coatings that Canon,
Nikon, et. al. have introduced, otherwise Ricoh wouldn't have changed
the SMC designation for the much more generic HD... supposedly.

Comparing the 35/2 lens on B&H with the one on the Pentax K-mount

I don't know how much "HD and SP Coatings" coatings differ from the
older SMC coatings.

Or is it just a cosmetic upgrade of the lens we’ve been using for years?

The APS-C wide zoom looks nice.
