The first OM Zuikos all had chrome (silver) front surfaces on the aperture
ring. These were later blackened - I think some felt it was a potential source
for flair. With the exception of the fast wides (21/2, 24/2, 28/2, 35/2) all
silver nosed lenses are single coated. Black nosed lenses may be either single
or multi coated.
