So far members of this forum have sent me serial numbers for a total of 55 R-D1 and R-d1s cameras. I have 35 R-D1 cameras registered with serial numbers ranging from 000419 to 005071. I have 20 R-D1s cameras registered ranging from 100383 to 103314. In all there were supposed to be 10,000 cameras made and serial numbers so far indicate a range of 4,652 R-D1 and 2,931 R-D1s cameras - a total of 9,304. The last number on a R-D1s registered of 103314 was purchased new in 2008. I think the idea of 10,000 cameras being made is possible but I am suprised that the lowest serial number is 419. Still trying to figure out where the serial numbers begin - at 1, 100, 200, 300, 400? Looks like it started at 1?
Keep those numbers coming please! And thank you so much to those of you who have already helped with this project!
