leica lens production #'s 75/1.4 lux, etc.

[ampguy]

a recent ebay auction for a 11810 75/1.4 lux mentioned there were only 500 made? Has anyone seen references for production numbers for this lens?

Also, what about E60/f1 Noctiluxes?

35/1.4 "Aspherical" - 800, or 1700 made??

I do keep my eyes out for the Lager volume (I want the one on lens that covers the '80s - vol II?), I'll have to check some sources I use for old odd books. Currently, can't find for < $100 used.

ISBN: 0963-69732-3
ISBN 13: 978-0963-69732-5

Thanks.

This makes sense. I guess the ebay seller (190441128371) was indicating that his was from a total of 500 in that particular batch, kind of creative I guess.

A few hundred for the latest, German made 11810 makes sense though.

seems like there must be more

seems like there must be more

My white box German 11810 3,837,xxx shows quite a few batches made later up into the 3,9xx,xxx 's if that link above is right.

However, that many (~2K?) German v2s does seem like a high number.

This is assuming mfg. remained in Germany and didn't revert to Canada, then back?

Were the 11815s made in Germany?
