How Do I Know The Code Of Canon Lens Production
This time we will discuss about the code on the lens to determine the age of the lens. if you have a Canon lens, try to uninstall the lens of the camera and see part iron mount that attaches to the camera. There you will find some code of numbers and letters that is quite useful for consumers. The code consists of two letters initial section connected with a five digit number.
Since 1960, Canon has put the code in each lens produced. This code indicates the location and year of manufacture of the lens. Here's how to interpret the Canon lens production code:
> The first letter indicates the location of the lens production, there are only three codes: U, F and O. The letter U is a production location Utsonomiya, F is Fukushima and O is Oita.
> The second character is the code in production, could be from A to Z. For ease of reading, please use the table below:
> Two figures in a month after it was code.
> While the last two numbers is a mystery, because so far no one knows what it means.
So what does the above code that reads UB1218 lens? UB means the lens is made in a factory Utsonomiya (U) in 2013 (B), precisely in December (12). The production code usually be a benchmark to assess the age of the lens when we buy a used lens. Well good luck it may be useful.
