Why you need to know your Leica lens serial numbers

You will have to remember that Leica uses the same naming convention for their lenses across their cameras. So if you want ONLY M lenses, you will need to add -M or -R is you want the R versions. So Elmarit-M and Elmarit-R would be your search terms.
