Thanks bro, yeah the lenses on the 5th gen are not fruby by any means. Thanks for the opinion.It comes down to personal preference. Keep the ones you prefer to wear, based on looks or feel as the 1st gen with some lens wear but nothing major is probably worth at least the same, and probably a little more, than the newer 24-125, so you are likely to get about the same $ out of either sale.
I would choose the 1st gen as the cleaning marks are minimal and 1st gen trumps most others in most cases.
Also note: I personally do not consider most 24-125's to be 'dark Ruby', but I presume that descriptor is offered in comparison to newer, more 'Fruby' lenses...? I took that into consideration thinking your question through.
Unfortunately no... mines under 25kIs serail low Under 5k.. The X-serail to me in the end would be the keeper.
Only asking, because I had heard that 5k and under serail had the highly coveted and very pricey red with some purple in them lenses. Snap pics of both may entice a buyer lol..Unfortunately no... mines under 25k
Well the most recent pics can be found in theb"show your display cases" thread.Only asking, because I had heard that 5k and under serail had the highly coveted and very pricey red with some purple in them lenses. Snap pics of both may entice a buyer lol..
Doesn't really work that way with lenses. Some batches are better than average is all. Yes, a 1st gen serial <5000 is likely to be less fruby than a 5th gen, but so is one from batch containing serial 20000. Which might even be better than the <5000 pair. The colouring of ruby lenses is an inexact science/art and you get what you get. As a general rule of thumb, the older the better works, but I don't think you can put precise numbers against it.Only asking, because I had heard that 5k and under serail had the highly coveted and very pricey red with some purple in them lenses.
