Hello All -

Having just become the owner of a Leica M6 camera body ( serial no.2418548 
) and Summicron M 50mm f2.0 lens (serial no.1705698) I am wondering if 
anyone can help me to date these items please.

I found a list of M serial numbers and corresponding dates on Cameraquest 
(heading "Leica M's and SLRs from 1954 to 1999 Sorted by Date and Serial 
Number") - unfortunately all the M series were covered - except the M6! I 
have not been able to find any list for Leica M lenses - Summicron or otherwise

Also - I understand that there have been various versions of this Summicron 
lens - if I can date it how do I check which version it is - and it's 
specification??

Thanks in anticipation -

Regards

Denis Boisclair
