I would use caution. Take a look at the pictures again. The lens may be new,
and the box may be new, but that is not the correct box for that lens. The
box is for an MC lens and the lens shown is a G.ZUIKO . The correct box
would be labeled G.ZUIKO, the same as the lens.

pictured with a silver filter rim and a serial number in the low 200,000
range. If this is a photo of the actual lens and this puppy's new in the
box (and I have no reason to doubt it), then it's probably of relatively old
manufacturing vintage and has been in someone's stockroom for a *long* time.
My 50mm F/1.4 has a serial number in the low 1,100,000 range, and a black
filter rim, and I bought it new in 1986.
