To answer your questions:

  • No issues
  • 82

But how do you tell the year it was made from these 2 numbers?

If you believe the first 2 numbers are the year this make mine built in 82 and an RF35mm 1.8 lens, I have, built in 69!

The serial number may have the date buried in it but it will be coded (not as clear date by as encoded date with Canon only knowing the key)

Thanks Tony. 82 would be October 2019 and 69 is September 2018. The production can be ascertained via: https://www.the-digital-picture.com/Canon-Lenses/Canon-Lens-Aging.aspx

Do you remember when you got the 70-200?
