Re: The Mark II was very light but other cameras prevailed

Just saw this post. Here is a basic timeline with serial numbers: The (Mk1) R35 first serial number was #5 (it appears the first 4 were design tests in some form) that was in 1961.

Re: BNC #17 looking for any info

On the bench currently is BNC305 which was converted to an Nc-R at some point. I am in the process of taking it back to its original configuration (parts willing).
