Ok, I understand. It will let me know what version the lens is. Now would
anyone know of a good place to look for the "serial # = which series lens"
link if there is one? I've seen the body serial # lists around but seem to
have missed the Lens lists...

Well the reason I didn't ask for lens opinions is I've read a lot of them
already :) most helpful! And when I did ask about what 50mm & 28mm lens to
look for I got two responses telling me to get a 35mm! Sigh. I know it's fun
to share opinions but unless it's helpful or there is a good reason behind
trying to change someone's mind...shhhh :)
