canon 50mm 1.8 version/ date of production

[sanmich]

Would someone know which version and what was the year of production of a canon 1.8 with a serial beginning with 315 ?
Thanks!🙂

per Peter:

Type: 7
Approx date issued: 1/61 to 12/70
Serial # range: 291938 to 343881

So probably 1965 or thereabouts,

Roland.

Thanks Roland!
So it's quite recent. Good...
Just out of curiosity, when did Canon go out of the ltm business?

A quick look at Peter Kitchingman's Canon lens book shows that several Canon rangefinder lenses were produced through early-1975. The Canon 50/0.95 TV lens was made until 1984.
