Chinon Lens Serial Number

31

Just like any product with a serial number, the one found on your Nikon lens is a way to identify the model. Unlike cars and other larger items, the serial number on a Nikon DSLR lens can repeat on the same models. A lens serial number gives you and potential repairers a chance to look up more information about the lens you own. Sometimes the serial numbers are even used repeatedly and on different. Canon EF lens chronology. A guide to locating Canon equipment serial numbers. Serial numbers on the EOS-1. Chinon Industries Inc. Chinon CP-9 AF with Autofocus lens 35-135mm. They manufactured many cameras, such as the CG-5, which was one of the first cameras ever to. Where is the serial number on canon lens? Where is the serial number on canon. Prototypes lenses generally used the same serial number scheme as production lenses but will have very low numbers in the portion of the number that reflects the manufacturing sequence. In many cases prototype lenses never made it to production; for example the Vivitar Professional 180mm f/2.8.

I have two copies of the Auto Chinon 135/2.8 lens, apparently made by Tomioka. Yes, my two copies do not look completely like the photo above. The focus grip is made by a rather week crocodile leatherlike plastic that shrinks often (I have the same on my Auto Chinon Tomioka 55/1.4 with the Tomioka label in the front filter ring).

That chart shows info starting with 2008 and that lens (version I) could possibly date back to 1998, its year of introduction.

Then why, in the article, do they use the EF-S 18-200 lens as an example?

Canon has been transitioning to a 10-digit lens serial number (starting in 2008 with the Canon EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens) and ending the inclusion of a separate manufacturing date code. While date codes and the shorter serial number are still found on some lenses, this inclusion will likely end completely. We loved the date code because it made aging a lens easy. However, now we can age a lens based on the serial number alone.

In the 10 digit numbers, I do understand the DD C SSSSSSS as explained.
What I don't understand is finding the year with the letters A thru Z. where is that found in the 10 digit code?
And then the letters A thru G all have 3 separate years that each of those letters might represent, with the rest of the alphabet having 2 possible years. How do you know which year the letter (for example) A equals? Is it 2012, 1986 or 1960?
What happens beginning in 2019 and after?
My 70-300 lens (non L) I bought new in 2008. The S/N on this lens is 45608200
It looks to me like there is no way to date my lens with the 8 digit number.

The TS-E45, TS-E90 and MP-E65 also use the same date code system as L lenses.

There's little or no likelyhood of any lenses being in production long enough to have the same date code as an earlier example.
