Clearly some listees have it. A quick TOPE search finds these. I
haven't seen one on yabe for many moons.
I would bet Jeff has performed some extensive testing with it.

But even if there were 200 made, surely some significant percentage of
them should be in the hands
of the enthusiasts using this mailing list? I mean, where else?

The Zuiko 250/2 is much heavier and larger than the 180/2 yet both are
rather short to use for wildlife. I can't imagine someone casually carrying
a 3.9kg 250/2 into a theater to take a few pictures, yet the focal length
and speed are probably more suited for indoor photos of people than most
other common uses. Probably the 180/2 is more likely to be carried and used.
The Zuiko 250/2 is a great lens, but there is generally a lighter
alternative. If you were regularly taking indoor photos professionally both
the 180/2 and 250/2 could become favorite choices.
I don't record which lens I use and I haven't taken B&W photos in many
years, so I'm no help with providing an example photograph.
Mine is serial number 101116 (seldom can the serial no. be seen in an ebay
photo, so I don't have any records). It would seem that there were over 1000
made, however an ebay seller of a black Zuiko 350/2.8 claimed his was one of
the first imported into the US and its serial number was 101009. Olympus may
not have started their numbering at 100000.
