Here is a preview of a multi-coated 24mm f/2.8

24mm f/2.8 Zuiko (multi-coated)
OM-4T with mirror and aperture prefire
Vignetting = B- @ f/2.8, B+ @ f/4, A- @ f/5.6, A @ f/8
Distortion = slight waveforming with distinct barrel
Aperture  Center    Corner    
f/2.8     B-        C
f/4       B+        B
f/5.6     A-        A-
f/8       A-        A
f/11      A-        A
f/16      A-        A-
Note: Moderately low contrast at f/2.8 and f/16, moderate contrast
elsewise.

The most noticable difference between this and the H.Zuiko is the more
pronounced distortion in the multi-coated version.  There might have
been an optical redesign associated with the release of the multi-coated
version - although that will require testing another example.
