In your case, it is possible that Leica had already allocated a batch of numbers for the Tri-Elmar in anticipation of its actual production. Although these numbers were appear to be from 1997, they were probably held over as being assigned to Tr-Elmar production, even though production did not begin until 1998. Everything is not necessarily strictly sequential. Mike swiek
