What are the differences between an MC 50 / 1.8 "plastic, made in Japan"
Zuiko and an MC 50 / 1.8 Zuiko? I have an MC 50 / 1.8 which says "made in
Japan" round the inside of the front of the lens and has "Japan" along with
the serial number engraved into a ring at the base of the lens next to the
bayonet mount ring. Do I have the "plastic" lens?

jh  

ps: I have also made comparisons of slides taken with my various Zuiko lens
and my various M lenses.
