What are the closest serial numbers you have among your lenses ?
I've seen that my record is 2 digits : 7727190 and 7727192 (my two Tak 15/3.5) Shocked

That's close Sylvain !!!

I bought two Tair-11 2.8/133 lenses from a Russian seller on the 'Bay two years ago - 000777 & 000778. I've kept the 778, but I got an offer from the second bidder which I really couldn't refuse. He offered me silly money for the serial number, and I decided that a fool and his money are soon parted Wink

Quite unbeatable, I had one times several Flektogon 35mm f2.4 MC they were one , two steps close to each other due stupid Police bought them 30-40 years ago and put them into closed stocks. One lucky guy bough them in batch for chips one or two years before. Count it 30 pcs brand new Flektogon 2 USD each Shocked I could buy two of them only.

I have a set of matched UV-Nikkors 105mm with consecutive serial numbers.
And there is my set of three Zeiss Luminars 16mm also with consecutive numbers.
I had a set of several NIB UV-Rodagons 60mm all with consecutive numbers, but
those went to other UV photographers except one with very special serial number.

And then there is that one, hard to match:

I have two prewar Tele-Tessar lenses 1:6,3 f=25cm. Nr. 2540724 (M40 Praktiflex) and 2540725 (Exakta).
Was quite a surprise, when I had that Praktix lens in my hands and checked the number.
