Camera bodies
From 1929 to at least 1937 Voigtländer used a numbering scheme for their cameras including a leading letter followed by a six-digit number. According to Prochnow[1] the leading letter clearly indicates the production year:
Year | Letter | Year | Letter | Year | Letter | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1929 | A | 1932 | D | 1935 | G | ||
1930 | B | 1933 | E | 1936 | H | ||
1931 | C | 1934 | F | 1937 | J |
Lenses
Part of the serial number sequence of lenses made by Voigtländer [2]. Another source differs significantly in the 1930ies[3] (see last column) and cited examples of the Voigtländer Perkeo (3x4) and related cameras from 1932 seem to confirm this.
