I recently bought a LEICA SUMMICRON-M 50 f/2. Can you tell me what version this would be?

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

It's what is generally referred to as a v5;

If we are picky,

11826

(this would be more help, if this lens is not coded, to tell the digital camera in "manual lens" setting)

I know this as I have some lenses not coded but sometimes, I want to tell the camera which is mounted 😉

Actually mine is the Portuguese version 11719

Hello Arnaud. I have the same lens of the OP.

Mine it's 41261XX

How can I know the year production? It looks like it doesn't appear in the wiki link.

I'm just curious.

412xxxx should be 2011.

Scroll most of the way to the bottom to find S/N by year, updated through 2014: https://www.overgaard.dk/leica_lens_compendium.html
