I wrote my previous post based on my list of serial numbers and lens
markings that I keep on this laptop. But I have just been to have a look at
the lens in question. I can confirm that it does say "ZUIKO MC" on the
front. I also checked the colour of the reflections of a tungsten light
bulb, and there are two prominent images in the reflections -- a red one and
a separate green one. If I remember correctly, green (and also blue)
present in the reflections indicates a multicoated lens.
When I purchased this lens, it had been "pre-loved", so I cannot tell
whether the front lens ring is original, but the "ZUIKO MC" marking seems
to be consistent with the colour of the reflections.
