Anyone getting deep into fretting about different coating versions of
the 85/2 should be aware that this lens is unique among regular Zuikos
in having gone through an optical redesign that included a change in the
number of elements.

I think it went from 5 elements in 4 groups to 6 in 4.

Does that liven the issue?
