I, Zuiko? Yes! I had one until I recently sold it to another listee.
The eSIF lists E through J plus L and says "The letter in front of the
word Zuiko (except the S) indicates the number of elements of the lens,
by its position in the alphabet: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or 12. The only
'L.Zuiko' (12 elements) was the 18mm/F3.5 prototype that was never put
into production - the final version with the adapter filter ring has 11
elements." Of course, that would have made it a 'K.ZUIKO', but it went
into production as an MC lens with no letter designation.
E-G were pretty common.
H. The 35/2 is 8 elements and was listed as an 'H' in early Lens Group
Manuals, but never produced in a SC version.
I. 24/2.8
J. The 24/2 is 10 elements and was listed as a 'J' in early Lens Group
Manuals, but never produced in a SC version.
Also " Fisheye lenses, Shift lenses, Zoom lenses and Macro lenses never
carried the preceding characters."
