I believe there were 3 versions. Mine is marked on the filter ring as 50-200 III ED OIS. I'm not exactly sure of the differences between the 3 but there are some comments on that here: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3893517

It does sound like yours are 1 and 2 since there's no III on them.

Thanks! I will try that. Must be 1 and 2. Strange not finding all those common NX lenses in dpr lenses!
