Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a Mir 1B 37mm f//2.8 to mount on my ZenitET. Found one on ebay with this serial no. N0000151.

Is that a prototipe from the early days?

Thanks!

Thanks Alfa2,

I've noticed it after I bought it, the date is written in the paper from VOMZ plant. I thought that this lenses where produced only until the first 80s.
By the way, the serial no. starts with 000, so it should be a pre-series.

Marcus, this is the 151-th lens nade in year 2000. And nothing else.
151-st lens made in year 1999 have serial number 99000151
151-st lens made in year 2000 have serial number 00000151
151-st lens made in year 2001 have serial number 01000151
I hope this is clear now.

All clear, thanks guys! I just thought that this lens was not produced in those years.
By the way, the lens works and has a nice bokeh, not nice as the Helios f\2 :)
