[OM] Puzzling Zuiko 50mm f/1.8

[Brian Swale]

Hi Zuiks,

I asked the vendor of 'Bay auction 1334872142 if the lens had "Made in  Japan" on the front ring, and a serial number on the chrome ring next to the  bayonet fitting, and here's his reply.

 Did some very early 50mm 1.8's have MIJ on the front ring?
