NOTES
LENS PRODUCTION (∑ lenses) ∑n =1278 Serial Numbers observed in 21 batches covering 54,610 SN min. < ∑ lenses < 60,675 SN max.
SN min. = accumulated total of serial numbers observed within 21 batches
SN max. = accumulated total of serial numbers observed between adjacent batches of other lenses.
One Style: ▼ Focus ring; F(9/12) 9 grooves in 12 finger grips. Aperture ring; A(10/11) 10 grooves in 11 finger grips. Makers name in capital letters.▲
The last copy has the highest serial number known and is one of a number of single copies of lenses from much later years?
