[OM] 50mm Lens Versions

There was some discussion recently re: the various versions of the 50mm f/1.8 
lens.

Can someone relay similar info. on the various versions of the 50mm f/1.4?  I 
read somewhere (probably here, or in the archives) that the serial nos. above 
1 million are the more desirable, MC versions.  Are there other variations to 
look for?  "Made in Japan" inside the aperture ring, for example, that would 
distinguish a more desirable version?

Is the early "silver nose" version desirable from a collector standpoint?  Or 
just an O.K. lens?

Skip Williams site, at: 
http://www.skipwilliams.com/olympus/zuiko_ebay_analysis.htm
shows prices varying from $20 to $168, which is a HECK of a range, with an 
average of $62, std. deviation of $20.

I guess what I'm looking for is a little better idea of which ones would 
command the $168, or not, and why.

Help!?

Rich
