Can someone confirm that there was a 55 1.2 MC. I thought that even though
the front ring is black, they were all SC. As I understand it, all 75-150s
(even with black from ring) are SC. I also thought that all 135 3.5s were
SC.
While I do have two parts listings for the `135 3.5, (type 1 and 2), they
both have the same front element, part number LC6048. Both parts list show
the lens as an E-Zuiko, which would indicate SC.
