Subject: [Leica] Noctilux serial number discrepancy
From: "Victor Wek" <photvictor@hotmail.com>

I have 50/1, first version with 2750xxx serial number.
According to Erwin info 
(http://www.imx.nl/photosite/leica/overview/listm.html) , and many books, 
this lens was first produced in 1976.
But according to source many times published on LUG :
Lens serial number source: Identifying Leica Lenses, Ghester Sartorius,
1999, ISBN 0-8174-4027-5
...
2 731 901 - 2 761 100 1975
...
this lens is from 1975.

Who is right?
Did Leica, in that time, follow car sellers behavior: they sell 2002 models 
in 2001 year?

Thanks,
Victor
