That Zuiko 55mm f1.2 is one of my favorite lenses !
Mine says Zuiko G on the front. I guess that stands for G I'm old glass!
The yellow cast is noticeable and is typical of single coated lenses.
It has a 55mm filter ring size and I've used the lens for Ultraviolet color
photography with a Schott UG1 filter from B&H (BW403) and Fuji RTP64
Tungsten balanced film and Wratten 85 balancing filter for normal daylight.
Most of my UV photos are with this lens.
For macro shots I sometimes use the 7mm extension tube and the Vivitar
macro helicoid doubler. http://flzhgn.home.mindspring.com/puma.htm
My big stinky flower photos were with this lens.

Buying used camera lenses reminds me of horse trading in the old West.

The 55mm f1.2 is a massive hunk of glass!
