Yes, but with the age of most Rollei lenses it is a better coating
(arguably) compared to one that is 50 years old. Is it worth it? Depends. I
had a Rollei Wide Mutar and a Xenotar done. Both had worn coating so to me
it was worth it. I did not like the color shift with the Xenotar so I sold
it along with several Rolleis I had when I went through my Rollei reduction
period.
