Where To Find Nikkor Lens Serial Number
I recently bought an 80-200 Nikkor AF, a 20mm 2.8, a 24mm 2.8, and a 35mm 2.0 and am having difficulty finding serial numbers. The lenses are probalby 10-15 years old but are all AF and in good shape. I wanted to insure all my equipment but have not been able to find serial numbers on these old lenses. Does anyone know where they are located?
The early manual AIS lenses have their SN engraved and white filled at the front end of the lens or the front of the zoom ring. Latter lenses have their SN number shadowed engraved on the aperture ring. Latest G lenses have their SN engraved in opposite side of the distance window (bottom of the lens) under the nameplate - near or under the words Made In Japan/China/Thailand etc. Look for it in good light, it is sometime extremely faint
I don't know why, but Nikon seems to delight in hiding the serial numbers of its lenses. Could someone(s) be kind enough to tell me where to find the serial numbers on the following lenses? I'm doing an insurance inventory.
OK... look at your lens from the rear. Hold the lens as it would be mounted on the camera. Then, looking carefully at the body, you will find the serial numbers at approximately a nine (9) O'clock position on the body. It is at the end nearest the lens mount.
Nikon for a long time used the first digit of the serial number to indicate region for many of their products (all the way back into the film SLR era). Traditionally, that first digit was used by Nikon like this:
Note: Nikon never changed the number of digits in most product serial numbers, which as product quantities increased during the early digital age, caused Nikon to have to abandon the clear logic they formerly used and which the above table suggests.
A few products, most notably the low volume top end pro cameras, use only the Japan-based serial numbers. Thus, you can have a D3 with a 20xxxxx serial number no matter where in the world you bought it (curiously, the D5 reverted back to the regional numbering system).
So where we stand is this: older gear clearly follows the original numbering practice in the table shown at the top of this page. The latest gear is much more complicated in how serial numbers are used. That said, a serial number with 0 as the second digit is almost always allocated according to the table, above.
There are several different versions of this lens, but at least on the 2-ring non-AF-S version, the sn is on the aperture ring, opposite to the aperture numbers. As you look at the three rows of raised nubs you will see an area where the rear-most row of nubs is missing - the sn is there, in faint gray lettering.
This page is a summary of film-era, mainly manual focus, Nikon equipment serial numbers used by NASA as part of the Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Shuttle and early International Space Station missions. While the list currently only details lenses, I may be adding camera bodies and accessories over the next while.
Included are only lenses that have been verified to have authentic NASA SNs. It is important to note that the labeling affixed to some pieces by the person(s) decommissioning the gear, occasionally contained typographical and other errors. The data in this table did not include these labeling errors if they were found to be incorrect. This table also does not include any items believed to be used for administrative purposes only (ie owned by NASA, but not intended for use in the space program) Links (where possible) are provided to images of the various pieces.
You will find the serial number of these Nikkor types on the aperture ring roughly opposite the F-numbers. It is difficult to see. For example, hold it against the window light to see it better.40 months ago(permalink)
The Nikon FE is an advanced semi-professional level, interchangeable lens, 35 mm film, single-lens reflex (SLR) camera. It was manufactured by Nikon in Japan from 1978 to 1983, and was available new from dealer stock until c. 1984. The FE uses a metal-bladed, vertical-travel focal plane shutter with a speed range of 8 to 1/1000 second, plus Bulb, and flash X-sync of 1/125th second. It had dimensions of 89.5 millimetres (3.52 in) height, 142 mm (5.6 in) width, 57.5 mm (2.26 in) depth and 590 grams (21 oz) weight. It was available in two colors: black with chrome trim and all black. As on the FM, its model designation did not appear on the front of the camera, but was engraved as a small "FE" preceding the serial number on the rear of the housing.
The FE is a manual-focus SLR with manual exposure control or aperture-priority autoexposure, and electromechanical components. As such, the FE requires batteries (two S76 or A76, or LR44 or SR44, or one 1/3N) to power its electronically controlled shutter. The batteries also power the FE's "match-needle" exposure control system. This consists of two needles pointing along a vertical shutter speed scale on the left side of the viewfinder. In manual mode, a black needle points out the shutter speed recommended by the built-in, open aperture, through-the-lens (TTL), silicon photodiode (SPD) light meter, with 60/40 percent centerweighting, while a translucent green needle shows the actual camera-set shutter speed. The photographer adjusts the shutter speed and/or the lens aperture f-stop until the needles align.
The FE's auto-exposure lock mechanism is activated by pushing and holding the timer shutter release lever toward the lens mount; even though the exposure is fixed to the state of the instant the lever is pushed, the black shutter speed needle in the viewfinder does not reflect this and moves freely.
The FE has a "full information" viewfinder very similar to the Nikkormat EL. In addition to the metering shutter scale, the viewfinder also displays the set lens aperture through an optical "eye" (this particular feature missing on the Nikkormat EL) and has a flash "ready" LED to give context to the metering needles. The viewfinder also introduced interchangeable focusing screens to the compact F-series: the standard Nikon Type K screen (3 mm split image rangefinder and 1 mm microprism collar focusing aids plus 12 mm etched circle indicating the area of the meter centerweighting) could be replaced by Type B (central 3 mm focusing spot plus 12 mm etched circle) and Type E (Type B plus a grid of five horizontal and three vertical lines; called the "architectural screen") screens.
The preflash technology in the D7200 is also different from the D7100 camera, which may affect older strobes' ability to provide TTL operation. The following strobes by serial number are fully compatible with the Nikon D7200 TTL systems:
Legendary is the word for this camera. For its time, the SP was farmore advanced than anything else available. Many consider the Nikon SP theQUINTESSENTIAL Photojournalist's camera. For the first time, Nikon had notonly caught up, but had passed Leica. It's the overall bestNikon Rangefinder choice as auser as far as I am concerned, especially if you have the lenses to make use of its sixframeline finder system. Serial # 6200000 to 6232200. SP's are my favoritecameras and I buy all I can. See Separate Profile
Shown here are three original black paint Black SP's with the new Cosina Voigtlander21/4, 25/4, and 35/2.5 lenses, the Voigtlander double accessory shoe mounting a Voigtlander VC silicon LED meter, with two S36 motor drives and the impossibly hard to find Jacobson SP cordless battery pack (the first and original cordless battery pack for Nikon cameras) made in good old Hollywood USA.
Nikon S3 2000: Nikon amazed Nikon collectors in the year 2000 by introducing the chrome Nikon S3 2000 selling for an average of $4500, a near duplicate of the classic S3 first introduced in 1958. Some collectors hoped for a new SP, but the complicated SP finder would have made the camera too expensive. Also introduced was a new formula black 50/1.4. Unfortunately, no other Nikon made lenses or accessories followed. The story that I was told is that Nikon originally intended to make only 2000 of the new S3's. Nikon is said to have cut off orders at 8000, though it is unclear if all were delivered. In 2002 Nikon introduced a new version, a black paint Nikon S3 2000, limited to 2000 units. Personally I think the black S3 was just what Nikon collectors were waiting for. I predict a relatively quick sell out. 2ff7e9595c
