I have a "made in Japan" 50mm f/1.8 and the lens appears
clear, showing no color and I have another showing the
greenish tone. A good FAQ site:

I was examining the color of the reflections from the
front element of two 50/1.8 (made in japan) versions.
I was a little surprised to see that they were different.
The one whose serial no. starts with 3XX.... has a
pronounced green, while the other 5xx......is purple.
I thought all the 50/1.8 MIJ versions were the same,
when did the coating change and are there any
differences in performance? I know there is a site that
discusses the Zuiko coatings and their color, just can't
remember what it is.
