[OM] Re: Difference between Siver nosed and Standard Zuiko lens?

[Moose]

I see you have had a couple of replies, but nobody pointed you to the 
eSIF page on the subject 
<http://olympus.dementia.org/eSIF/om-sif/lensgroup/lensterms.htm>. Just 
to be clear, it happens that the switch in styling from silver nose to 
black nose roughly coincided in time with the optical switch to 
multi-coating. The discussion under point b. is a much more accurate 
description of which lenses are MC.
