Thanks for the info. The list has a big gap between '93 & '94, your info has helped to fill that gap.
Looking forward to receiving the info from your friends.
Cheers,
Ron.

Hi Ron,

I just wanted to notify you of an F3 Lapita 2000 Memorial Edition Serial # L 0000001 listed on ebay.
There are no pictures of the open back to have a chance at the date code. You might be able to get the seller to give you the info. Just thought I would pass it along.

Take care,

Colin

Hi Colin,

Thanks for the heads-up about the eBay listing.
The seller has been trying to sell that camera for several years now.
I have production codes for two LAPITA F3s, #0000047 & #0000027.............both have D0VRN as the code.
As all of the LAPITAs would have been produced at the same time; I'm assuming that they'll all have the same production code.

Cheers,
Ron.
