Dear Ken,

"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 some interesting colours on my silver ringed 50mm F/3.5. When we where
listing our lenses last year with MC or SC markings - I convinced myself it was
MC. Comparisons with the other lenses of its vintage suggested otherwise. The
colours it reflects are somewhere between the SC and the MC lenses I own. On
balance I'm convinced its SC.
It still takes pretty good pictures though.
