Interesting. I guess that's why Rogliatti in his "Leica, The First 70 Years"
stops with serial numbers for bodies at 1992 and lenses in 1988. Being new
to the fraternity, it is the first book of its kind that I have acquired.
Perhaps the body numbers beyond 1988 have been interpolated and
extrapolated, not?
