So after having a search online, I discovered that the serial number on a Canon lens can tell you when and where it was made.
According to Bob Atkins:
So I asked a guy about the serial number on a lens I'm thinking of buying, but there's no letters. It's an eight digit number.
Is it dodgy, or are there different ways Canon stamp their lenses?
According to Bob Atkins:
Normally it will read somethings like "UT0308". The "U" is the factory, the "T" is the year of manufacture (2005), the "03" is the month (March) and the final two numbers seem to be some sort of internal Canon code.
