Leica 35mm Summilux Serial Numbers



Here is a quick and easy way to get the year of manufacturing of Leica lenses (L, R, and screw mount) based on the serial number which is located on the front of the lens:

Oct 20, 2020 I have had many 35mm's for my Canon 5DII; Canon 35mm f.2.0, 24-70 Canon L, 35mm 1.4 Samyang, Leica R 35-70mm f.4.0, Leica R 35mm Summicron. The last lens is the only one I have now. I have tested all off them multiple times, each time I bought a new lens. Leica Camera AG (/ ˈ l aɪ k ʌ /) is a German company that manufactures cameras, lenses, binoculars, rifle scopes, microscopes and ophthalmic lenses.The company was founded by Ernst Leitz in 1869. The name Leica is derived from the first three letters of his surname (Leitz) and the first two of the word camera: lei-ca. My Leica M with Leica 35mm Summilux-M ASPH f/1.4 FLE and the ventilated lens shade and Tie Her Up Rock'n'Roll strap.The ventilated lens shade goes on the outside screw of the lens, leaving the filter screw for filters. You can buy the lens shade in Black Paint ($129) or Silver ($149) on this page. Leica M9 and 35mm Summilux-M ASPH f/1.4 (V), 800 ISO, 1/60 second in Amsterdam 2010.

Update: A reader just sent me another way of determining the production year of Leica cameras and lenses: just got to this website, and type the serial number.

And another update on the serial numbers after 2004:
