I suppose I could carry a chart but I never bothered. I would sell mine, make me an offer :-) It has a mark on the front element shown in the pic at about the 4 o'clock position: http://www.geebeephoto.com/For_Sale/pages/Zuiko_35-80mm_f2.8_04.htm There are 5 pictures in all starting here: http://www.geebeephoto.com/For_Sale/pages/Zuiko_35-80mm_f2.8_01.htm There is play in the barrel at the front of the lens which alarmed me when I bought it but it is normal in this lens http://lists.tako.de/html/Olympus-OM/2004-04/msg00463.html http://lists.tako.de/html/Olympus-OM/2004-04/msg00464.html --Graham
