The only problems where I need your comparison to your own lens are :
a.) There is about 0.5 mm play vertical to the optical axis between the
aperture ring and the bajonet mount, as well as less play between the
focussing ring and the bajonet mount.
Is this a typical Zuiko 40mm phenomenon ?

0.5 mm is awfully small. Mine does feel like it gives a little squishy almost click when from the top (i.e. the aperture ring). No play at all with the focusing...

b.) the focussing ring moves easier than on any other Zuiko I own

Feel similar to the others Zuikos I have.

c.) I couldn´t find a white stamp on the backside for the production date

Dates? I just checked the 4 closest Zuikos, and none of them has dates on them.

Is there any other special thing I should obeye on this lens ?
What are the LAST typical market prices ?

~$450 is a good average price. Jonequinn's price is $900 :-)
