    Identifying lens age by serial number?

    Is there any site that allows you to identify the age of lens by supplying a serial number? I should add that I have found one site that list ranges for serial numbers but it can spread over many years and doesn't tie it down to a specific period.

    Resizing advice please

    On uploading my images to this site my EXIF is not transferring. On my original jpeg the EXIF is all there until I use the Fastzone Resizer program to make it a 1024 x 1024. Any advice on how to retain the EXIF or is there another program I could use to resize which will retain the exif?
