diego_k. Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Hi all, Even with Dan Colucci�s great assistance, I can�t seem to get hold of much information a bout this lens I recently bought from Todd Fredrick (VERY fast shipping; got to Madrid in 4 days, and acurate description, recommended). It�s basically a 5cm/3.5 elmar, chrome mount, no serial number. I don�t know where to look for the mysterious O I have read so much about standardizing the lenses. I�m going to try this one as soon as I get my M3 back from Dag�s and get a proper LTM � M adapter ring. Any way to date it? Any information is welcome. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen_w. Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Amigo, There is no way we can help without a serial number. It has to be there somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harry_soletsky1 Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 a chrome Elmar ought to have a serial #. The very early ones are nickel. Lookover the back of the lens icluding some of the baffles. Also I suspect you already know to look, check around the metal ring that just circles the glass. The aperature selling knob is there as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diego_k. Posted September 11, 2003 Author Share Posted September 11, 2003 No number whatsoever, only a 6 or a 9, printed under the infinity lock´s base, F stops are the old style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luisarguelles Posted September 12, 2003 Share Posted September 12, 2003 Hola Diego, es esguro que tiene numero de serie. Examina el frontal del objetivo con una lupa y veras, sobre el anillo de color bronce, el numero marcado. Esta ahí, pero es muy pequeño :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diego_k. Posted September 13, 2003 Author Share Posted September 13, 2003 Luis, he mirado con lupa y no hay nada, he visto otros objetivos que si lo tenian y se donde buscar. Tambien he virado por detras como sugirieron algunas personas con las que hable. Pero nada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathew_brady1 Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 The serial number on these lenses is engraved very small on the dark ring that is inside the aperature setting index ring. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
