blaze Posted November 3, 2010 Share #1 Posted November 3, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've been trying, without success, to find out how many of the Chrome 90mm apo Summicron ( 11885 ) where produced. I believe they where made between 2003 to 2005. Could anyone suggest a method of finding out? Thanks . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Hi blaze, Take a look here 90mm Summicron Apo - 11885. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
luigi bertolotti Posted November 3, 2010 Share #2 Posted November 3, 2010 If we trust Erwin Puts, he lists a single batch of "Silber" (=chrome) Summicron AA 90, 600 items, dated 2002. There is also the Titanium finish version, 500 items only, I seem to remember, matching a similar series of titanium M6 TTL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaze Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted November 3, 2010 That's interesting because I have 3961253 purchased 2005 my Son has another purchased 2005.. but 600 is not many. We bought them for their beauty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted November 3, 2010 Share #4 Posted November 3, 2010 Hum... if your 3961253 is chrome, Puts isn't at all precise (to be honest, he says that his figures can be not 100% exact) : he does list a batch of 300 Summicron 90 AA 3961211 - 3961510, but doesn't detail the finishing (the "silber" batch of 600 should be 3950034 - 3950633). And I completely agree... some chrome lenses have an incredible beauty... P.S. see also our Wiki section - M lenses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
