Regarding any Zuiko: what constitutes a "version" versus a "variation?"
I consider version to be a change that has a performance difference and
perhaps ultimately a price difference. I consider variation to result in
an exercise that may have no end.
Performance-wise, I'd say 3: SC, MCv1, and MCv2. MCv1 has only one
element multi-coated.
Variations? Silver snout SC and black snout SC are the only significant
additional ones. Otherwise, I won't go there . . .
Speaking of variations, I hear that Argus C3 collectors have identified
over 20 variations. Groan.
