Hi Dave
The lens is the latest version serial no. 104904 so its not a SC one. I
dont even think that a SC version of this lens exists although I could be
wrong. It was like new in box so I doubt its had any misuse.
Interesting that someone else has a soft stop aswell. Maybe they also have
a late serial number.
What is yours out of interest?

Oben,
My 21/2 has a "hard" stop at the close focus end. Complete w/clicking when
hitting the stop, etc.
You must have one of those single-coated, radioactive stops. <G>
