INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
VARIATION
- Small aperture setting limit begins F=22 and is increased to F=45 from the batch 7 (1781xxx).
- The first batch displays legacy cosmetics. The serial number is before the name. The lettering font is early and the numerals include a closed "4". All later batches have serial numbers after the name and are similar, cosmetically.
NOTES
LENS PRODUCTION (∑ lenses) ∑n = 178 Serial Numbers (SN) observed in 41 batches covering 3,776 SN min.< ∑ lenses < 10,225 SN max.
SN min. = accumulated total of serial numbers observed within 41 batches.
SN max. = accumulated total of serial numbers observed between adjacent batches of other lenses.
