-Serial #3844252
-Chrome finish version
-Made in Wetzlar, Germany 1998
-All brass barrel construction over the aluminium barrel of the black finish version
-Very fast F2.8 and sharp ASPH wide angle lens
This for many reasons is THE lens to have and use. The 24mm 2.8 is one of the nicest lenses to shoot. RAZOR sharp ( over the 21mm and 28mm ).
Also, the brass body over the black aluminium body is a nicer feel and since these lenses are discontinued, the production at the time was limited and they are RARE and hard to find.
This lens checks off all the boxes for many reasons!
