Once again, according to the Olympus parts diagram, there does indeed
exist a Type-1 (SC) and Type-2 (MC) version of this lens. The MC version
has all the elements/groups multicoated. I believe an MC version would be
labelled "OM-SYSTEM ZUIKO SHIFT 35mm 1:2.8" instead of "OM_SYSTEM ZUIKO
SHIFT 1:2.8 f=35mm". I have an SC version at home, I can check the SC
labelling tonight.
