Beg your pardon...

I was asking, because I´ve a 1,4 50mm, MC, 39mm long, Zuiko and wanted
to know if it has already reached the climax of optical evolution, or is
the 40mm long, non MC marked (but still MC), Zuiko (now extinct),
another optical sumit (Mount Olympus) to reach?

Speak: Is the last version and the second version identical in there
optical properties?

I wouldn´t count here changes in coating as design changes, like
changing the tyre type on a car.

With plastic aperture ring? did they change to 5/4 design?

Paul D. Farrar wrote of 6/5 and 6/4 design version of the 1,8, did they
