The flipside is the number "8" which has the same pronounciation as "prosper". When you get a few 8's in a row .... WOW But of course, if you're not Chinese, it doesn't matter

Can you Imagine lots of buildings without a 4th floor...

Soooo, I go from death(204141) to prosperous (208838) :angel:

51 serial numbers but still no 200*** lenses! I don't think there are any, Kiu!

 

[NIKON KIU]

I do!!!!

Talk to me when you have a 1000 numbers!

Kiu

 

[jonmanjiro]

I do!!!!

Talk to me when you have a 1000 numbers!

Kiu

1000 numbers??? Well that's never going to happen!!!

With just the 50 serial numbers we already have, we can calculate that there's only a 0.5% chance that a 200xxx lens exists!!!

Then again, I've never been very good with numbers ...

 

[NIKON KIU]

I think I have seen one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kiu

 

[jonmanjiro]

I think I have seen one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kiu

You just think you have seen one ??? That doesn't count The serial numbers in this list are all confirmed sightings!

 

[NIKON KIU]

Jonnie,
I THINK I have seen more than one!!!

51 lousy numbers don't prove anything when there are 10,000 lenses.

Kiu

 

[jonmanjiro]

Jonnie,
I THINK I have seen more than one!!!

You gotta do better than that, NIKON KIU

51 lousy numbers don't prove anything when there are 10,000 lenses.

Kiu

51 CONFIRMED numbers thank you very much!

 

[Highway 61]

201784 for mine.

52 confirmed numbers now.

Many have wondered about the opical formula of this lens. I recently saw an x-ray of what appeard to be a sonnar formula lens. Has anyone taken a radiograph of the Millenium lens?

 

[goliathus]

I refund my original S3 because of internal shutter problem than bought a Nikon S3 2000 yesterday! the serial is 202980.
