Hello,

Does anybody know what year a serial number beginning with the first four of 4826XXX was manufactured?
Thank you for any help.

I would guess somewhere around 2022 to 2023.

SiggiGun - the question is for lenses, not camera bodies. 😁

tappan - The relationship of lens serial number to actual date of production is non-trivial (i.e. complex) in Leica-land.

But the answers so far are probably reasonable.

The poster-child lens for the brand-new (2025) 50 Summilux non-ASPH revival carries the serial number 4947689, and one proud new owner shows a partial S/N of 49477xx

Our own Wiki lists the first lens of 2015 (last entry) as 4400001.

So across 10 years, Leica maybe produced (or at least numbered) ~50000 lenses a year (across all systems M/S/SL/Q/CL-TL), which all pull S/Ns from the same pool).

Which would put a 4826xxx lens or S/N as about two years ago (Feb. 2023±).
