This tells me that it is one of the quasi-MC lenses. There was a
time with some of the later silvernosed lenses where there was some
changes in the formulations but didn't go all the way to full-blown
multi-coating.
For example, the earliest lenses will have almost exclusively
Purple/Yellow colors. The middle lenses (mostly Silvernosed, but
some blacknosed) have blue reflections too. The Multicoated
black-nosed lenses will have Green and Red reflections added.
My 100/2.8 has Purple/Yellow/Blue and some Red, but no green. It
sounds like this particular 85/2 is of the same formulation. If so,
grab it!
Not to put too fine a point on this, but the single-coated 100/2.8
and 85/2 lenses are basically equivelent to a multicoated zoom.
