It means there were at least 50795 2/35's made... All serials for lenses
start with 1XXX.XXX at least. The front rings were taken out at random
during production, and were possibly made each 10.000 or so... So one could
state your lens comes out of the 5th batch of 10.000 lenses type 35/2.
Or the 50th batch of 1000 lenses... But it is not exactly number 50795 of
production.
Each lenstype has individual numbers. There is no numbering for the whole
system!

Iwert.
