I'm about to get a Summicron 35mm, first version. The first version begins with Order no. 11227 and ends in 1976. https://wiki.l-camera-forum.com/leica-wiki.en/index.php/35mm_f/2_Summicron-R_I So they should, everyone, Order no. 11227. In a photo shop there was a Summcron 35mm, with the original box with 11115. I looked carefully and the manufacturing date is 1976. How do you explain it? Thank you all. P.S. I used the translator

So: I was in that shop. The lens is the first version, but the box is from the second version (11115)!!! The problem is solved. Thank you
