I am writing a article on focusing scales for Anniversary and Pre-Anniversary cameras. If you have a listing of serial numbers and lenses, I would appreciate getting a copy.

Thanks. Ken

Hacienda,

Thanks for the information. Could you please give me a little more detail? Does each number refer to the standard focal length lens for each camera, is it a prefix, with a further number to be added, or something else?

Thanks again.

Ken
