Great find. I just bought it. I went from owning no 50s two days ago to owning 3. A smc tak, a helios 44 and now the primoplan.

Does anyone know what year this serial is from? It seems to be a very old model.

The excellent Lens Vademecum helps a bit with this... (hint, hint Wink)

It's somewhere between just-postwar and 1951, I'd guess around 1949-1950.

Thanks, I'm really looking forwards to getting it. I spent all day looking at samples on the net and they are lovely! They have me lusting after the 75 (a bit of a pipe dream)....
