I have a big box of Zuiko 50mm f1.8's

These are the serial numbers:

136950
456260
552077
553617
589044
664888
728964
740581
1041356
1056295
1113749
1461864
1611278

I also have 8 more with "MC" and no serial number and another 2 with no
serial number without "MC"

I've paid as little as $1.49 and as much as $15 for these lenses. This lens
is often underpriced.
