9085010HiddenGood condition, Serial number is "908501"
Strangely the registration form says, /Your serial number is invalid. It should contain 7 digits/. So, I had to put "0" at the end.

My father bought it with SV in 1965. I overhauled it 10 years ago and have been using it for my work. Very sharp.

The lens auto function was sticky from lack of use, and I lubed the pin mechanism to fix that, The glass is very clear. Focus and (aperture ring after lube) move freely, No oil on blades. Quite a clean lens which shows little wear. Reversed aperture ring for this model. No SMC on this early model 1.8
