Serial Number On Canon Lens

admin

Serial Number: 33. Lens Serial Number: 0000204d8d. What is the 'Internal Serial Number'? The serial number of the Digital camera is correct, but my actual lens serial number is 45842. Affected Lenses. If the first two digits in the serial number (see the image below) of your lens are ”48”, ”49”, ”50” or ”51”, then your lens MAY POSSIBLY be affected. As I understand it, dependently on the maker of the camera, the serial number will be stored in the EXIF metadata. However, it would seem that, when it comes to lenses, only the body number (e.g. The model of the lens, the hardware makeup) is stored, but not the serial for the specific lens you own.

Whether buying a second-hand lens or just wanting to have a sticky-beak around your existing equipment, here is how to work out the date and place of manufacture of your Canon lens.

Photography website The Digital Picture has listed a handy way to work out the age of your lens based on the serial number. Older Canon lenses were easier to date because they had a specific code, whereas newer lenses and bodies (post-2008) shifted towards serial numbers instead.

First, find the 10-digit serial number and divide it into the following pattern:

The first two letters (DD) will help you determine the year of manufacture. Simply consult the table below to find out when it was made. The other letters indicate batch number, as well as the actual serial number of the lens in question.

If you have a slightly older lens, or one that has not yet succumbed to the serial number phenomenon, you can also work out how old it is by looking at the marking on the black plastic by the lens mount. Generally featuring a six digit combination of letters and numbers, the first letter indicates what factory it is made in (U for Utsunomiya, Japan; F for Fukushima, Japan; O for Oita, Japan), while the next one is the year of manufacture.

You can work out the year it was made by consulting this list compiled by The Digital Picture:

  • A = 2012, 1986, 1960

  • B = 1987, 1961

  • C = 1988, 1962

  • D = 1989, 1963

  • E = 1990, 1964

  • F = 1991, 1965

  • G = 1992, 1966

  • H = 1993, 1967

  • I = 1994, 1968

  • J = 1995, 1969

  • K = 1996, 1970

  • L = 1997, 1971

  • M = 1998, 1972

  • N = 1999, 1973

  • O = 2000, 1974

  • P = 2001, 1975

  • Q = 2002, 1976

  • R = 2003, 1977

  • S = 2004, 1978

  • T = 2005, 1979

  • U = 2006, 1980

  • V = 2007, 1981

  • W = 2008, 1982

  • X = 2009, 1983

  • Y = 2010, 1984

  • Z = 2011, 1985

Finally, the next two numbers that immediately follow the year code is the month. So, for example, 03 = March and 12 = December.
