Yes, on the split mount lenses, the DOF scale is on a ring which is part
of the focus helicoid. Lenses with this mount design: 2 newer 50 1.8,
28 2.8, 20mm macro. There may be 1 or 2 others.
BTW, Over the last 2 months, most parts I've ordered from Olympus
(replacement back covers, tripod collars, filter rings) have all come up
"no longer available" from Japan.
