The lens was listed in price sheets until 1964, but there are no known variations except those seen in photos in some literature. They show a lens finished in black crinkle paint, as opposed to the regular smooth black finish, and a black aperture scale instead of chrome. The shade can be found in both finishes, however. It is a reversible 82mm screw in type, which doubles as a series IX filter holder.
Serial numbers run from 354500 to 3551xx for a production of about 650 lenses. Weight was 59 ounces, and cost was $398.
