=====I wonder if the 100/2.8 just might be an exception to the "rules" here.
I
have a silver-nosed, non-MC marked lens that doesn't have any of the normal
SC reflections, but has many of the normal MC reflections. Its serial
number of 1306xx tells me that it is not a "new" lens by any means, but the
silver nose and without MC markings it would have to be earlier than when
the MC lenses took over. I wonder if Olympus had slipstreamed coating
improvements into the line before the marketing department had a chance to
get their slimy fingers involved.======
I have before me a 100 f2.8 with no sc or mc markings.
It has a black nose and is seriel #166xxx.
Also Before me is a 85 f2 with silver nose seriel #107xxx
no mc or sc markings. I am sure they are both sc and reflect the same.
Being that the black nose is newer than the silver nose
I would say that the rules are in tact.
Perhaps your lens has been in the shop and a different front thingy
was put on in place of a bent one. Hence the silver nose on a mc lens.
Ahhh, look at these beauties! I need to go fondle them and maybe
even shoot with them.
I may even shoot into the sun.
