Hi, and thanks for Your answer.
According to the information found on the site of Paul D. Farrar,
http://www.datasync.com/~farrar/zuiko.html
the floating element close-distance correction mechanism where
reportedly not used in the earliest version, I think, the one with the
silver front ring?
According to the MIR photography site,
http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/olympusom1n2/
shared/zuiko/htmls/28mm.htm
There where two different versions of the lens, differences where
unclear, but the newer version does weight a little less.
So this makes two or three versions...
There is a way to tell the version from the lens S/N?
Many thanks for the help
Best whishes.
