Hello, and HELP!
A compatibility query regarding the various production years of the summilux 50mm 1.4 R with a 5DmkII
According to the pebblepalce.com data base the compatibility isn't very easy to comprehend.
Catalog No. 11875 & No. 11776 are of uncertain compatibility. These should correspond to production years 1969-1986 and are all first versions.
No. 11777 is compatible and corresponds to production years 1986-1997 and is the first version.
No. 11343 is of uncertain compatibility. It corresponds to production year 1997-2000 and is still fa first version.
No. 11344 most probably only needs O-ring removal (?) from the rear optical element to make it compatible (again-?). It corresponds to production years 1998-to present moment and is the second generation.
Main questions are:
1) how do I deduce No. (ie catalog number) from the serial number of the lens?
2) does anyone have any information of the "uncertain" compatibility no.'s 11875, 11776,11344 & 11343?
3) anyone have any experience with the O-ring removal of No.11344?
As always thank you |
