Maybe that's a later refinement. I took the number from Gary's tests of
the 50/1.4 where he comments that the lens in question has a serial
number > 1,100,000.
Actually, I have the makings for a test right here. I have three 1.4's.
My original silver nose bought circa 1978 with serial 462,xxx and two
black nose multicoated with serial numbers 1,089,xxx and 1,166,xxx. I
wonder if 1,100,000 was also the dividing line for the "MC" designation.
1,089,xxx is marked "MC" and 1,166,xxx is not.
