To all who could be interested,

I recently went to a photo show and bought a sm to m adapter for 90mm lenses
at a very low price.  The reason for the low price was the engraving on the
adapter.  The dealer thought that the item was no longer collectible.  The
engraving, almost factory like & very professionnally done, goes as follow:
on the A side (front) 1037385, on the B side (back) with smaller characters
12317.  Anybody has any clue as to the meaning?  Could it be the original
adapter for a 90mm summicron lens (you know with the glue and all).  Any
info welcome!

Regards,

Robert.
