I believe/think most of our EF (L) lenses we own are discontinued, except the few RF lenses we have.

The oldest EF lens we own is the EF 50 mm F/1.8 mk1 (build code UB0200 = 02-1987)

Interesting. Where can I find build codes, and how do I read them? I have no idea which is my oldest. Several of them I bought used.
Never mind. I found a resource . My 200mm f/1.8 has serial 17520 but I don't find a date code. My 135L has serial 126067 and I don't find a date code on it either.
