Does anybody have any information pertaining to which serial numbers to avoid when purchasing a used Schneider 80mm Super Symmar XL- Jim at MPEX got me started looking at the Schneideroptic website which provides serial numbers for their lenses up through April of 2000 which is pretty close to when the first 80mm SSXL's were introduced. I could gather from that data that Schneider produces somewhere between 32,000 and 40,000 numbered items per year but would need to know what year they were reliably making these lenses correctly to extrapolate. Im in the market for one of these lenses and would appreciate any info you, the community, has.
