HD Pentax-D FA 24-70mm serial number

Just bought this HD DFA 24-70mm 2.8
Is it normal that there is no serial number somewhere on the lens?. Can it be counterfeit?

Look carefully under bright light or with a flashlight. The Serial Number is etched in small black numbers behind the front ring. It is not highlighted with white paint.

Very disappointed with this lens. My DFA 28-105mm is much better and sharper.
The 24-70 Fine AF adjustment when to 10 on back focus

LENS has been returned.

Sorry to hear that. Mine is pretty much spot on, as is my 28-105. My 20-40 is a dud though.

I wonder how much negative sentiment is due to bad copies that go back and are reshipped until someone just accepts a ‘bad copy’?
