Mark_Cohran Cream of the Crop  More info | Mar 01, 2007 14:29 | #2 On all my L lenses the serial number is located on either the flat metal area of the lens mount, or on the barrel near the lens mount. However, on the 85 f1.2L MKII it's a 5 digit number not a 6 digit number (that's the only variation I saw). On my non-L lenses the serial number is an 8 digit number located on the inner black ring of the lens mount (very faint and much more difficult to see). Mark

Mark_Cohran Cream of the Crop More info | Mar 01, 2007 14:46 | #5 My Speedlights have serial numbers (540EZ, 550EX, 580EX), but there are things that don't have serial numbers, I'm sure. These would be small, inexpensive items. Mark
