Canon 300mm 2.8 IS question

[redmonkee]

Just noting all my gear's serial numbers for my insurance and I've noticed that all my Canon gear has 6 figure serial numbers, apart from the 300 2.8, this only has a 5 number serial number. :shrug:

Do you think I've got the right number. its on the bottom of the lens near the rear lens cap.

 

[Canon Bob]

Yes, mine's only 5 figures too.

Nice one Bob. Is that where you see your serial number, underneath near the rear lens cap?

 

[admirable]

5 here too in that location, mine starts with a 3

 

[grumpybadger]

Yup. My 400DO only has 4 digits - I think it is lenses that have sold less have lower numbers

5 here.

5 here on the 400mm f/2.8

Wanna bet that it is either 3 or 4 digits on the 800mm f5.6 and 2 digits on the 1200mm?

 

[Tobers]

Yep - mine was 5 digits too. It's an older lens so that'll be why.

Cheers guys.
