Prochnow (Rollei Report 2, p.G-589) shows the range of SL-66 serial
numbers as 2,900,000 to 2.927,800 for the years 1966 to 1982. I
don't know how the numbers were assigned or what the yearly
production was. Without knowing that one can't find the exact year
of production from the camera number, however, it seems to be a
quite late one.
That would indicate that only 27,800 were built in that 16 year
period, or an average of about 1,737 per year, 144 a month, roughly
six per production day. I knew this was a low-production camera, but
never realized production was that low! I wonder what Hasselblad
production numbers were for the same time period.
