Hi - my 50mm f3.5 Elmar Ltm Serial Nr. 134079 does not seem to exist. I will try to post photos to show that it does in fact have that Serial Nr. It was serviced by FotoMechanik Reinhardt - Katzenwinkel 72- 30966 Hemmingen on 06.12.2010 and referred to in the invoice by that Serial Nr. - 134079. However the Leica Wiki has this data: -130248 133506- Elmar 5 cm 1:3.5 (KUP.11-BP+7) 1931 -144221 151035- Elmar 5 cm 1:3.5 (KUP.7+CHROM.7) 1932 My Elmar 134079 seems to fall between the cracks. I would be grateful if anyone could tell me what I might be missing. Iβm attaching photos which may make it possible for the experts here to give me some indication of the date of manufacture. I am also curious whether it is Nickel or Chrome. Is it possible to tell that from the photos? You may be able to pick up from the photos that the glass has a bluish tinge. Could that mean the lens was coated later in life? would really appreciate any help. Dan
