D&G optical?? I know they can refigure lenses and apply Mg F2 tp their excellent achromats.

Why do you want new coatings?? A few coatings blemishes will have a very small effect on the lenses performance.

My guess is that no one will want to
touch the Fluorite element. I think
Takahashi is the only one out there coating
Fluorite; most other makers don't coat
the Fluorite element at all (too fragile).
If the problem is the other element, try
