I think it's #3...buy the lens...could be a collector's item! I had one of them (the 1.8) once in my youth (I had an SP) and the photo got me intrigued so I pulled out the little red book and saw the entry for both the 55/2 & 55/1.8 were one and the same. The specifications for both are an exact match with the exception of the aperture.
http://www.bong.uni.cc/takumar_mix_up.htm It appears that the 55/2 is the standard lens for the SP1000 while the 55/1.8 is the alternative lens for the ESII and the SP F (vs. 50/1.4). That data comes from the white pamplet which is newer. My guess that the 55/2 should have been the low cost version...
