Advertisement Posted December 25, 2017 Posted December 25, 2017 Hi jaapv, Take a look here 18-56 serial number?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Valau Posted December 25, 2017 Share #2 Â Posted December 25, 2017 It took me a good hour to find it!!! Look on the L mount end of the lens and it is there!!!! David Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share #3 Â Posted December 25, 2017 Thanks, but that is the type number Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valau Posted December 25, 2017 Share #4 Â Posted December 25, 2017 (edited) On my zoom it is inside the chrome L mount engraved onto the black base, I used that number to register the lens with Leica and it worked with them! The number also matched the number on the Passport papers that came with the outfit. Â David Edited December 25, 2017 by Valau Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share #5 Â Posted December 25, 2017 I can't look indie the chrome mount, it has a black shroud fitted, on the outside of the chrome mount - nothing. I'm surely being stupid. Can you post a photo? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valau Posted December 25, 2017 Share #6 Â Posted December 25, 2017 My number is nearly opposite the contacts, I will try to post a photo ASAP Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted December 25, 2017 Share #9 Â Posted December 25, 2017 Same in the 23mm and 60mm. If this is the same for all, then it's worth adding to the FAQ. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott kirkpatrick Posted December 25, 2017 Share #11  Posted December 25, 2017 I didn't know that TL lenses even had serial numbers until I found them in the EXIF data. The information panel in Capture One will not show it, but an EXIFTool or Adobe dngvalidate should do it.

wlaidlaw Posted December 26, 2017 Share #13 Â Posted December 26, 2017 It is odd that the lens serial number shows up in the main EXIF (PS CC 2018) but not the camera serial number. It is not buried in the RAW data either. I have just registered the CL camera body on My Products Always in View on the Leica-Camera website. However it would not recognise the serial number of the lens and refused to register it. I have queried this with Leica. Â Wilson 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share #14  Posted December 26, 2017 That is funny. I've got LR4 on my old Macbook Air, and it shows the camera serial number, not the lens. CC2018, on the other hand, shows both:  Welcome, dear visitor!

wlaidlaw Posted December 26, 2017 Share #17  Posted December 26, 2017 Here is my EXIF from PS CC2018 - no camera serial number. You would have thought it would have been consistent. My copy of LR CC Classic is showing no serial numbers at all on the metadata, neither lens nor body.  Wilson   Welcome, dear visitor!

jaapv Posted December 26, 2017 Author Share #18 Â Posted December 26, 2017 And mine did not give the orientation... ??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott kirkpatrick Posted December 26, 2017 Share #19  Posted December 26, 2017 They do appear on stickers on the boxes. I purchased my TL lenses by various devious (but inexpensive) means, while traveling, so I didn't keep the boxes. I think looking at their bases with a bright light is the best solution.
