This confirms post #89 that there are two blocks of 12x SE production and, since 300*** presumably predates 350*** (logical!), any 300*** must be at least a few years old, as our Ozzie friend 'rmcconachy' surmised. If it IS possible to date such a numbered 12x SE, what are the odds of it having 'lead glass'? Perhaps Nikon itself might lighten our darkness on these issues? Or are those groans I hear...?</p></blockquote><p></p>
