Jim, 
        But which ones show green? By the way, I found a 55mm f1.2 Zuiko today 
in
a box of parts marked Olympus at the back of the junk shelf. The lens is in
parts right now, but looks to be all there. How many variations of the 55mm
lens were there?

Regards,

Bryant.

By the way, I could survey the ten or so 50mm lenses we have in the case at
the shop and we could add this list up to something really grand. We will
need more particulars so as to appear to be a real data base. Things like
weight, Length from seat to front surround closed and open, stuff like
that.

I have a big box of Zuiko 50mm f1.8's

These are the serial numbers:

136950
456260
552077
553617
589044
664888
728964
740581
1041356
1056295
1113749
1461864
1611278

I also have 8 more with "MC" and no serial number and another 2 with no
serial number without "MC"

I've paid as little as $1.49 and as much as $15 for these lenses. This lens
is often underpriced.
