Help! Locate serial number on box

Jan 8, 2015

Hello!

I recently bought a few lenses that I shipped to my place in AK buy I wont be there before March. Problem is that I need the serial number to get the rebates. I have the stickers found on the box but can't figure out which one would be the serial. Many different opinion online so I ask your help..

My last finding is that it might be the number at the extreme right below the longest bar code but I need to be sure!

So in this exemple would the serial number be : (21)00478124 (it is a sample...)

Awesome thanks that is what I thought, well if someone wants to confirm just to be safe but that would make sense. Can't believe that it's nowhere online... Or maybe i'm blind

Yes, that is the serial number. It is all the numbers after (21).

Lenses can have 10 digit, 8 digit, 7 digit, or even 6 digit serial numbers.
