I think you'll find your answers at this site: http://www.cameraquest.com/mlenses.htm My 'cron is the 5th version, 11819, with SN 35024xx My guess is that the one you're looking at is the earlier version, 11817. If the lens has no focusing lever and doesn't have the number 50 on the barrel, that's what you're looking at. - -- Shel Belinkoff mailto:belinkoff@earthlink.net
