No, it's not an L lens. Only the L lenses will show a date code, non L lenses should only show a serial #.

Not really, I think my 35/2 might have a date code.

Most non-L lenses will not have date codes, although some do.

+1 that is correct definitely L's are coded most non-L's are not but it is not consistent.
