In Shutterbug Advertiser-speak if you hold the lens up to the light and look
from the back to the front element and see some slight circular swirls,
accompanied by a moderate amount of black speck floaties inside the lens, then
this is known officially as "Mint Condition-Clean Glass".    If you can
actually catch your fingernail in the deep chiseled gashes in what used to be
the front lens element and there are fungus blobs the size of redwoods inside
the lens then this is called EX++ "Slight cleaning marks- no effect on
picture"  :^)

Conclusion?  Rob two extra convenience store/gas stations and buy new Zuiko
instead.
