also appear on the same bochure but no one ever seen one.
OK, but neither do you know for certain that it wasn't made. Admittedly,
that's "Bad Science" as it requires someone to prove something doesn't
exist. The other two long teles you mention are known to have never been
in production.
Sorry, I can't found a SC on 35/2 column, did I missing something?
No; my error. There are not any SC 35/2's listed, just one of the very
late ones after the "MC" mark was dropped.

Didn't know where he got this information.
Neither do I, but IIRC he lurks and does pop up with a posting every now
and then.
I came to the conclusion that there isn't any definitive evidence of a 35/2
H.Zuiko. IOW the jury is still out. *If* they exist, they must be a very
small population compared to the entire poplulation of
35/2's. Reason? The existence of silver-nose MC versions of this
lens. One of the mysteries of life for now. Don't drive yourself crazy
trying to resolve it. It's usually easy enough to inspect individual
lenses for multi-coatings.
