Re: BELPLASCA SERIAL#

[P3D Alexander Klein <klein@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Last year, we had a discussion about Belplasca Serial numbers to find out
when they stopped using two flash contacts. This was the last info:

I just received notice of a fellow stereo-enthusiast in Japan, which leaves
us with the following updated info:

Theoretical total number of cameras: (9252-1168)+1= 8,085

Which leaves us with only 737 cameras between serial No's 1668 and 2406
to find out where they stopped using the additional L contact ... 

If anybody can add any information, please contact me off-list. I'll keep
you posted should there be any other spectacular results ...
