The usage of serial numbers beginning with "0"is pretty well standard on
lenses actually made at Krasnagorsk, though lenses made at satellite
facilities following the year-of-production custom. For instance, my KMZ
2/50 Jupiter-8 (LTM) is 0239406. From internal evidence, it is pretty
certain that this lenses dates from the early 1980's.
Very early ZK/BK production and early Jupiter lenses from KMZ did start
their serial numbers with the year of production. I suspect the changeover
occurred in the later 1950's.
