According to the link you very kindly provided it's likely to be later than '46 and probably between 1950 and 1962. Pete. 195n Nippon Kogaku Japan 50-2 Nikkor-H.C with M10. Welcome, dear visitor!

Wonder how reliable is that Nikon source though..for example for my Nikon f1.8 the serial is 1823xx and it's not there. Also no dates besides 1956~...wish this was as well documented and accurate as Leica lenses, but oh well.

Also no dates besides 1956~...wish this was as well documented and accurate as Leica lenses, but oh well. The site linked to by @JMF is itself a compilation of various data sources (including owner-provided input) and is generally quite accurate. However, it may not be fully up-to-date for a particular lens. The best info source for Nikon RF lenses is, of course, Robert Rotoloni. By his own admission, though, he keeps finding new "Nikkor oddities" (batches, serial numbers, sub-versions,...) all the time! In the absence of full manufacturing records, this is not surprising, especially in the case of low-volume production items such as the 35/1.8 LTM. Sometimes you get lucky and a somewhat more accurate date can be deducted or 'triangulated' (eg, when the lens comes with the original papers or the body it was originally sold with).

ALUX Posted February 16, 2023 Share #10392 Posted February 16, 2023 Today I received my Leitz Elmar f:3.5 / 3.5cm which I had purchased last Monday on Ebay. It was built in 1939, but is coated and in a almost like mint condition I quickly rushed out after returning from work in order to get some test shots before it gets dark: Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Like with my Hektor 2.8cm, the center sharpness is excellent but it drops considerably towards the edges of the frame, even stopped down. But this might partially be caused by the relatively thick filter stack of the Sony A9 which I used. All in all, I'm very pleased with the results. 14 1 Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Mine was not good at f2 but excellent at f2.8 to f11. It had an odd 48mm filter thread, so I had a step up adapter to 49mm. One lens I regret selling.
