just to add, mine is a G,Zuiko silver nose, s/n 100912, which I always assumed
was SC. The hood is the slip-on, but purchased much later.

That's very interesting. The 1999 multi/single coating survey of
members of this list reported only six 21/3.5 lenses. I've placed the
Fred Miranda lens and yours within the list according to serial number.
Does yours actually say "Zuiko MC"? Are you sure that the name ring
hasn't been replaced? 119500 also seems to be a bit of an outlier.
Maybe the owner reported it as SC assuming it was SC if it didn't say MC
(usual for later MC lenses).
21 3.5 103600 Chrome SC No G. Zuiko
21 3.5 103680 Chrome SC No G. Zuiko
--------> 1158xx Black (CyberSimian lens) ???
21 3.5 116100 Black SC No G. Zuiko
--------> 116361 Black (Fred Miranda lens) G. Zuiko
21 3.5 116460 Black MC Yes Zuiko MC
21 3.5 119500 Black SC No Zuiko
21 3.5 121400 Black MC No Zuiko
