I know I have seen this question posted some where else before but I just cant find it.

So please if any one has information about Canadian Leitz lenses without serial number; just wander the reason.

Thanks Roberto

Roberto,

You don't mention which lens you are looking at, but I have a 35mm

Summicron from Canada that at first glance has no serial number. It

is not on the front of the lens as is the norm for my other lenses.

I specified a certain serial number range when I ordered the lens

from a mail order Leica store, I wanted the last non-ASPH Summicron

of a known version, and was quoted the serial number from the sales

person on the phone.

Upon receiving the lens, it was indeed the one I wanted, but there

was no serial number??? Then one day I found it by accident. It is

on the rear of the aperture dial, on the bottom of the lens. It is

hard to see, and gets more visible when the lens is focused close,

due to the extension of the lens body. Look from the back at the

aperture ring, it might be there. I would tend to think that all

lenses have serial numbers... many books have the serial number /

date conversion charts with no mention of Canadian lenses.

Now I don´t have any Leitz lens without serial number; thank´s Al.

Mine is a 35/2 preasph too.
