The first used series 7 filters and the later E55 filters. The change over took place in 1968 with the second having serial numbers 2,193,701 and up. They were developed alongside the matching M lenses and are good performers, but the 135 was not very popular with R users - the focal length been squeezed between the 90s and 180s. I have been happy with the results from mine but I find I use the 180 much more. The price of 230$ looks good to me if it is in good condition and a 3-cam lens and a fair price if it is 1-cam or 2-cam.
