Tom, you keep us guessing . . . And what does the reflection in the one
marked Zuiko MC (#118,000) look like in comparison? If it is alike,
then you would need one with a serial number >212,000 to get the modern
coating that doesn't flake away as readily as the older multicoating, if
(protecting my flank) you even care. :-)
It is only when you have these side by side can one "appreciate" the
differences. Or maybe I should say "recognize" them.
