New inferior lens for Horizon 202?

Today I got a new Horizon 202. (My third one, the first two had
problems with light leaks and film transport.)

Beside some other minor differences, I noticed that the lens is
very reflective, i.e. it has a bad coating. The diaphragm is hardly
visibly behind the reflections!

I know that the coating quality of e.g. the Kiev/Arsat lenses varies
considerably from production run to production run, so maybe this
is also just a 'monday morning problem'. However, what make me
suspicious is that the designation "MC" has been dropped from the
lens' label.

Does anyone know more about this or other changes for the recent
production? (hi WJ ;-)

The serial number is 990790. My earlier models were from 1996 and
1998.
