Dear Ken,

"I wonder if the 100/2.8 just might be an exception to the "rules" here.  I
have a silver-nosed, non-MC marked lens that doesn't have any of the normal
SC reflections, but has many of the normal MC reflections.  Its serial
number of 1306xx tells me that it is not a "new" lens by any means, but the
silver nose and without MC markings it would have to be earlier than when
the MC lenses took over.  I wonder if Olympus had slipstreamed coating
improvements into the line before the marketing department had a chance to
get their slimy fingers involved."

I have some interesting colours on my silver ringed 50mm F/3.5. When we where 
listing our lenses last year with MC or SC markings - I convinced myself it was 
MC. Comparisons with the other lenses of its vintage suggested otherwise. The 
colours it reflects are somewhere between the SC and the MC lenses I own. On 
balance I'm convinced its SC.

It still takes pretty good pictures though.

Chris
