Theres a difference between good criticism & bad criticism. If you take it the wrong way try to look at it at a different angle. All John is saying is that it should be marked with a date it was made since they are new lenses. That way down the road a collector with less experience runs across the unmarked idem he could get taken for a lot of money for something worth a lot less. This could also play out for a seller to if they buy something to flip. We/I have ran into undated lenses that raises questions down the road but with "experience" noticed the differences. So I agree with what John says about marking things & Im sure most everyone else here will agree too!!!!
