canon 50/1.8 LTM

[raid]

My Serenar has serial number 639XX. I counted ten blades.

Ref😛eter Kitchingman
Approx date issued: 1/52 to 11/52

Peter refers to it as Type 2.

My ver. 1 is also only marked Canon.

Were some of the ver 1 lenses marked only Canon and not also Serenar? My lens appears to be a ver 1 (ser#147332) but is only marked Canon Lens 50mm 1.8.

There are eight versions of this lens according to Peter Kitchingman. My lens is the second one.
