Can anybody give me any information on >this lens, and what the writing means? > It simply mean that the lens was made in 1913 and will cease to function by 1983 ! No, no. Seriously, the lens is actually made to commemorate Leica's 70 years anniversary. It is meant to go with Chrome M4-P bearing the same inscription. Their collectable value is slightly higher than the normal ones and no more. But for $200 in mint- condition, guessed you've got yourself a bargain, huh ? (read: ENVY) Happy snapping, Shyan
