I stumbled across a 85/2 on an auction. Price at this moment is about 100$.
As far as I can see is the serial number 10x.xxx. Is this a SC or MC lens? I
have checked Gary's lens test results, which give quite different results
for SC'ed and MC'ed lenses.

Has anyone experiences, suggestions or comments on that, please? I'd like to
give that lens a good home among my other Zuikos and use it for concert
photography.

Best regards

It falls into the serial number range of the SC lenses from the serial number survey on Lee Hawkins' site:
