Mike, they are NOT the same...

UHTC coatings are an "improvement" over the EMC coatings, but mostly geared to Astrophotography...

There are many reports online, some say they don't make much difference "VISUALLY" speaking, and some say they do... I guess it is one of those things that you have to experience for yourself...

But, if you have the option to get them with UHTC, you'll be better off...

From what I remember, the majority opinion among owners who had been able to view through both was that the UHTC coatings were a noticeable improvement over the EMC coatings....visibly and not just photographically. That said, I owned an EMC-coated LX90 and IMO they were good. The UHTC coatings must be that much better. Worth it if you can get 'em.
