You may add a data point to the list. Above 130,040 are MC. Mine is
marked MC.

No, I don't think it should. When Oly started multi-coating their
lenses, they added the "MC". Later, when all lenses were multi-coated,
they dropped the "MC" from the lens ring.With that SN and plain "ZUIKO",
without the "F." prefix, it is multi-coated.
Also, take a look at the enlarged image of the front. There are subtle
magenta and green shades inside, sure signs of multi-coating.

I take it it's still unsafe, impractical or just even more expensive to
ship it to you from the US? The seller offers international shipping.
With over 6600 feedbacks, he should have some experience with that. I'd
be happy to buy and ship for you if the seller's international shipping
option isn't right. Double shipping would also add to the total, though.
Send me the airfare, and I'll bring it down myself, but not until
Spring. ;-)
