There's are 3 silvernose auto-Ts on ebay right now #104160, 110178 and
103643. The last looks exceptionally clean with a case but the price
and shipping are high.

Update from Jeff on the 200/5----I knew he had a copy or two (and he
does) and would know more about the rare MC version.
Here is what he said:
"The 200mm f5 seems to be a pretty low production lens. Interestingly
though they made all four typical versions:
1 silver nosed F.ZUIKO
2. black nosed F.ZUIKO
3. ZUIKO MC AUTO-T
4. ZUIKO AUTO-T (without the MC)
The blacknosed F.ZUIKO changed to MC somewhere between 121624 and
130291. I've only seen two ZUIKO AUTO-T (no MC) 131893, 132212 if my
records are correct."
He has seen probably fewer than six MC labeled versions, most might have
been put up for sale by Japanese owners. I suspect it would take many
moons to find an MC version now.
