Dave B. asks:
<< Why do these alternate between SCs and MCs? >>
Because http://www.zuikoholic.com/lenscoatings.txt is raw data. There
are a variety of impossibilities within the list. Consider:
21 3.5 119500 Black SC Zuiko
to actually be multicoated. Whoever determined SC was likely in error.
<< I have been sent a picture of a lens for sale without the 'MC' label
(the guy thinks it is not multicoated because of this, I guess):
Serial Number 118444
It says:
Olympus OM-System Zuiko Auto-W 21mm 1:3.5 118444 Japan
Now is it MULTI-COATED I wonder ?!?!?!?! >>
Yes, it is multicoated. Some sellers occasionally mistake the lack of an
"MC" on the ID ring for not being multicoated - which is where being a
smart buyer can get you a bargain.
