Not all black ones are multicoated. Mine's not. The OM lenses that have a
letter next to the word Zuiko (F.Zuiko, G.Zuiko, etc.) are not multicoated,
except a handful of lens models that also had MC on the front ring. The
later black lenses without the letter by Zuiko are all MC even if the lens
doesn't say so.
