A whole new neurotic topic of discussion -- lens mark engraving. :-) I just checked, and all my M lenses are engraved. So are all of my Mamiya 645 lenses. None of my Nikkor AF lenses are, but the Nikkor on my Palaubel Makina 670 is. My son's old FD Canon's are engraved though. Something new to ponder and worry about. (Just kidding!) Michael
