The_OM System Lens Handbook_states, "The front of this lens(300/4.5)
features a luxurious 4-elements in 3-groups construction, with a
combination of high refractive index glass and extraordinary partial
dispersion glass to greatly reduce chromatic aberrations."

I think that multi-coating was here before this kind of construction.
