Sigma Lens Serial Number Lookup

Original or Not? You Can Check The Serial Number of the product and Register it online on Company website, if Company says the number is incorrect than you must return your lens. Tips on Buying a Lens No one can tell about the quality of lens wit. To age a Canon lens using the 10-digital serial number Canon lenses, we dissect the serial number as: DD C SSSSSSS. The DD is the key to the date of manufacture of the lens – the date code. The long, narrow Canon lens date code chart is shown on the right side of this page. They have posted what they predict to be the future date codes for.

Ok guys, if you ever wanted to know when your Fujifilm camera has been manufactured, here is a simple way to find it out :)

All you have to do is to check out the first two figures of your serial number.

So, as you can see above, my good old (and now discontinued) Fujifilm X-T1 serial number starts with “42“.

This means that my Fujifilm X-T1 has been made in 2014, in quarter 2.

To check if this is correct, I opened a random image of mine (SOOC or RAW) with the Graphic Converter EXIF tool. Here is what it shows me: 2014:06:18… or 18th of June, 2014. So indeed, quartal 2 of 2014.

So if your serial number starts with, let’s say, 71, it means your camera has been manufactured in 2017, quarter 1.

UPDATE: Thanks to the FR-community, we have solved the riddle. As from Fuji’s page in Russian here (google translated)

1st digit = Year:
1 = 2011, 2 = 2012, …

2st digit/letter = Quarter:
I quarter = 1, 5, A, S, E, J, N
II quarter = 2, 6, B, T, F, K, P
III quarter = 3, 7, C, U, G, L, Q
IV quarter = 4, 8, D, W, H, M, R

Examples of determining the year and quarter of production:

Serial number 1Txxxxxx – the first position of the number – the number “1” means 2011, the second position of the number – “T” – means the 2nd quarter, accordingly the product was produced from April to June 2011;

Serial number 03xxxxxx – the first position of the number – the number “0” means 2010, the second position of the number – “3” – means the 3rd quarter, accordingly the product was produced from July to September 2010.

The production date itself is taken as the last day of the production quarter. Ie, if the camera is produced in the third quarter, the warranty period will be counted from September 30.

Hi guys,
My house was broken into and my Sigma 30mm was stolen (along with a bunch of other stuff :mad. The police have a lead and are inquiring about where they can find the serial number on the lens. Could someone post a pic, or a description of where it is located?
Thank you very much!

Ok, that's what I was afraid of.
Well, the cops did a raid this morning on a house 25 miles away, and we recovered a laptop and some costume jewelry (family heirloom). They recovered a Sigma 30mm lens as well, so it would seem likely to be mine. They took a picture of the serial # but it only has 7 digits, and doesn't match my warranty card (which has 8 digits). I purchased it from a member here a long time ago, but I'm hoping he may be able to shed some light. Of course it's possible that the lens is not mine, too. Just seems unlikely to me at this point. Maybe I should draw smiley faces on all my gear.

For reference, the recovered lens has serial 1001179 and my registration card says 10878001.

It's a shame that lens serial #'s aren't recorded in exif data. I hope it is yours and you can claim it.

Sorry for the OP in likely not getting his lens. There were four versions of that lens with differing finish on the outside surfaces. I not that the recovered lens has 7-digits while the OP's lens has 8-digits. That may mean a much 'later' lens.
EXIF information can already record the lens serial number if the lens info is passed to the camera body, which isn't the case except in recent lenses, and even then a Canon lens on a Canon body. A Sigma lens might not ever pass the necessary info to the body.

I was updating some paperwork and came across this thread. For anyone interested, the lens was not recovered as my paperwork did not match the suspect lens.
