David, Nikon Rangefinders by Robert Rotoloni lists the rare eight digit serial S model. Just for the record, the eight digit cameras were not the first group to be made. For some reason the 609 serial prefix was considered special by Nikon, thus they were loathed to drop it. However they realised that in keeping same, the serials would eventually have huge numbers of digits. At 6099999 to next serial became 60910000, running on to approximately 60911215. The prefix then changed to the 610 serial block. For whatever reason the sequence was eventually changed, the eight digit cameras do command a nice premium for their owners! |
