marker (they left some info unmarked). Was this some kind of security thing
or do some zuikoholics su*bscribe to a fanatic cult with bizarre
initiation rituals?
Is there any way to remove the marker without risking damage to the lens?

It sounds as if they were trying to make the lens less obtrusive, and
probably did the same thing to their camera body as well. In short. a
dedicated street shooter perhaps--except such would have chosen an 85F2.0 or
135F2.8 to start with. FWIW.
