Not sure if there was a thread already but just want to confirm that the new MKII doesn't have date code. It comes with a CD instead of regular manual.
Serial are 10 digit long.
I guess Canon lost the UZ stamp

Nov 11, 2010 13:06 | #2 Hmm I think there might be differences in production - mine game with a proper manual and not a CD. I've no idea though where or what to look for in the date code to check. Tools of the trade: Canon 400D, Canon 7D, Canon 70-200mm f2.8 IS L M2, Sigma 120-300mm f2.8 OS, Canon MPE 65mm f2.8 macro, Sigma 150mm f2.8 macro, Tamron 24-70mm f2.4, Sigma 70mm f2.8 macro, Sigma 8-16mm f4.5-5.6, Raynox DCR 250, loads of teleconverters and a flashy thingy too
