I recently received a new fuji 14mm and i'm trying to figure out how new it actually is. It came from B&H and is in fine condition but it had been opened before i got it. (The bag the lens was in had been gone through and was crinkled up and the paper work on top was packed crookedly).

I've seen a couple of threads on Fuji serial numbering but i haven't seen one that answers the question of build dates definitively yet - and this lens' serial number is much lower than my other lenses (also purchased new).

The S/N of my lens starts with: 48A0

If the first number is the year as has been mentioned before i've got a 2 year old new lens. I don't care too much but the fact that the box has been opened previously makes me want to understand what's going on a little more.

Can anyone else who's recently received a new 14mm share the beginning of their S/N?

not sure if this helps but I recently purchased 23mm 1.4 and 56 1.2 from b and h, serials 55A and 58A respectively. So both manufactured in 2015.
