> 35mm f/2.8 Shift* = N? (change to S if someone finds
a MC sample)
Say what? My 35/shift looks MC to me. In other words
it exhibits colors in the coatings that my SC lenses
don't have. It also has a black nose! However, the
serial number appears to be rather low.
I don't think I've ever seen a true single-coat lens
made since 1970 though. All SC Zuikos have multiple
coatings and they changed the formulation on some
lenses before the promotion of MC. I believe that the
MC lenses essentially add a layer or two of new
reflecting colors to set them apart from the
predecessors.
