Sigma Serial Number Lookup
Thread started 24 Sep 2010 (Friday) 22:29
Accounts to suit you. Up to $1,000 interest free always or up to $1,000 with 6 months interest free. It is possible as the USB Dock recognizes the serial number of products. Even though you have 2 pieces of 1 lens, the software will not mix up the lens information and each customization. Does the software offer off-line operation? Firmware updating and the lenses connected to the USB Dock for the first time require internet access. The lens I received is a XXmm f/XX lens for my XXXXX brand camera, and has serial number #233XXXX. The lens you received has a serial number which has not been issued by Sigma’s factory in Japan. It appears that the lens you received is a 'Gray Market' lens, and has been tampered with having its serial number changed.

The Serial number is actually a sticker. Mine was coming off so I glued it back in place. Maybe yours has fallen off too?

Here is a quick and easy way to get the year of manufacturing of Leica lenses (L, R, and screw mount) based on the serial number which is located on the front of the lens:
Update: A reader just sent me another way of determining the production year of Leica cameras and lenses: just got to this website, and type the serial number.
And another update on the serial numbers after 2004:
4 000 000-4 010 600: 2004
4 010 601-4 025 900: 2005

4 034 901-4 057 000: 2007
