Mark IA: Product numbers 350 and 43500; from February 1964 the seat ring and light seal are cemented instead of screwed together with three screws; early samples have three screws in the focusing ring; earliest six-digit samples do not have an IR marker.

The last samples were supplied with the new multi-coating, but lacked the full aperture metering mechanism.
