Does anyone know the differences between the white box packaging and the silver/black packaging? Newer model? Same version?
Thanks

I think the white boxes were used from the early to late 90's, and the silver/black ones from then on. At least in the case of the Noctilux, both white and silver/black box lenses are the same version (last E60 version with built-in, sliding hood).
And these, in turn, should be the same version as the "last 100" Noctilux lenses, despite the lack of an exquisitely handcrafted humidor for packaging. 🙂

Most of the white box stuff is produced in Cuba, with a few from Ohio, and some occasional ones from the Malvinas.
Still good lenses and cameras.

You forgot to mention the silver-packaging versions, which are the lens made in Haiti at the orphanage run by the police department.*
*subtle(?) joke understood by FED owners.

That's all a rumor to throw people off track. They're produced in Haiti by restaveks.

Some of us are extracting the urine here.
Leica changed their packaging design a few years back.
End of story.
