Update from Jeff on the 200/5----I knew he had a copy or two (and he does) and would know more about the rare MC version.

Here is what he said:
"The 200mm f5 seems to be a pretty low production lens. Interestingly though they made all four typical versions:


1 silver nosed F.ZUIKO
2. black nosed F.ZUIKO
3. ZUIKO MC AUTO-T
4. ZUIKO AUTO-T (without the MC)


The blacknosed F.ZUIKO changed to MC somewhere between 121624 and 130291. I've only seen two ZUIKO AUTO-T (no MC) 131893, 132212 if my records are correct."


He has seen probably fewer than six MC labeled versions, most might have been put up for sale by Japanese owners. I suspect it would take many moons to find an MC version now.

Mike
