Hi napchop,

I see that your SK collapsible has s/n #49 02889.

My SK has s/n # 49 04347.
So, can one say that this lens became non-collapsible betwen these two numbers?
Or is it an other model?

Regards,
Michel.

I believe that there were blocks of serial numbers assigned to the lenses for a manufacture batch. It is not as simple as the lenses changed at a certain number.
