I got a guitar with a serial number like that: 000006. A prototype, one of 15 made.
My lens serial numbers are all over the place.
Best,

Whow!
These are extremely rare lenses!
You will never find another copy with same serial... 
consider them your lucky numbers.
In those days i still could afford myself a car (before my lens addiction) i was always waiting for the nice numbers. eg: 100000, 111111km or 123456km. a satisfaction which only lasts for seconds..
My lucky numbers are found on the not so 'lucky' lenses:
00003 on a canon tv-lens
750 on an Old Delft 58mm

I kinda agree, as long as it isn't 100000 or 999999 ( for example ) i think people just see patterns ^^.
Still I'm not going to exclude it. ( because it would imply i know, and that's just not the case )
Point... 3rd lens i grabbed
