Welcome to the Pentax Serial Number Database at PentaxForums.com! This database contains an ever-evolving listing of serial numbers for every kind of Pentax photographic item, including cameras, lenses, and accessories.

The mission of this database is threefold: first, it will allow users to discern faulty items; second, it will build an overview of production trends; and third, it will establish owner records to deter theft.

To add a new item to the database, click on the "Add New Item" link in the upper-right corner of the main listing table. To add a serial number of an existing item, you must first navigate to that item, and then click on a similarly-placed "Add Serial" link.

I'd like to see a 60-85ish limited zoom to match the 20-40

Thanks for highlighting the serial number database, Allen; I’m going to put all my stuff on it today.

Or a 39-79mm f2.7 limited to keep up the tradition, as long as it covered full frame

please let us know if your additions create a new low number

[microlight]

My addition of the Takumar 55/f2.2 is not only the lowest, it's the only one! Incidentally, I had to put a zero in front of the six-figure serial number for this and the 58mm/f2.4 as the database wouldn't accept a six-figure number. The 58/f2.4 is the third-lowest serial in its list.


Also, the Spotmatic I added is the fifth-lowest number.

The Pentax SL I added is also the lowest serial in its list.

[aslyfox]

I meant any new low number for the Limited lenses

[microlight]

Aaaaaaaaaaaah.

Sorry.

[aslyfox]

Aaaaaaaaaaaah.

Sorry.

no problem

I wasn't clear

just trying to keep the list I posted current

according to the Ricoh site: Discontinued Lens for Digital single-lens reflex camera / Lens lineup/ Lenses / Products | RICOH IMAGING

the SMC variants of Pentax-DA 15mm F F4ED AL Limited, PENTAX-DA 21mmF3.2AL Limited and PENTAX-DA 35mmF2.8 Macro Limited limiteds are " discontinued "

[dbs]

Do the limiteds live up to there reputation.?

Well they are nice lenses but only a good photographer makes them even more special.
Was it the 31 or 77which won the 'best lens ' poll a couple of years ago.

So in short ...yep

Isn't all SMC DA Limited lenses discontinued and replaced by HD DA Limited versions.
