Is there a code that tells you how many times the lens was used in the rain, how many times it was dropped, how many times it was taken from a cold air conditioned room to the humid outdoors, and whether it was used by a smoker?
No. And we don\'t need such a code because we have a date code.
And the earliest copies of the 24-105L are the most valuable because they generate a special kind of flare you can\'t get any other way.
What if I have a lens I don\'t want to sell, but it happens to have an extremely valuable date code? Can I sell it to somebody else who wants to sell their copy of the lens but doesn\'t have a good code, with payment in cash plus their code?
