Folks;
One more data point. My 300 f/4.5 is S/N 1452xx. It claims to be only a
"Zuiko Auto-T" No E or F. No MC. On the rear flange in white it says
"TN12".
As for performance, it is VERY good. I've taken a great photo of a coyote in
winter snow wide open on Kodachrome 200 no less and it prints great to
11X14. I've got several sunsets with a huge sun in 'em (mated with the 1.4X)
and they print quite well all the way to 16X20. And flare has never been a
problem.
