Re: OM lens serial numbers - any resources?


The pattern might not be obvious from the above list, but a lens was \"single-coated\" if and only if it bore an inscription in the sequence ..,\"E.Zuiko\", \"F.Zuiko\",... (E = 5 elements, F = 6 elements, ...) on its bezel. This is modulo the bezel from a later lens not having been swapped on by an eBay shonk, and my own suspicion that \"single-coated\" might actually have some multicoating on some surfaces on some lenses.

Most of my MC Zuikos don\'t have the prominent green reflection of most modern multicoated lenses, but resist flare almost as well as Canon L... not as well, though.
