serial number

[thirteenthumbs]

<p>Where is the serial number located on a 60mm f2.8 Macro Nikkor AF lens?<br>

I just received a copy and cannot find a serial number anywhere on the outside of the lens. It is used in very good to like new condition identical to http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/66987-USA/Nikon_1987_AF_Micro_Nikkor_60mm_f_2_8D.html<br>

A sample test photo is/will be attached. D300, Aperture priority, f11.<br>

Thanks in advance.</p><div></div>

<p>If I am seeing correctly, the image of the lens at photosynthesis makes me think that it is on the metal mating flange.</p>

<p>The usual position on AF lenses with an aperture ring is the bottom of it (underside of the aperture ring).</p>

For AF lenses with an aperture ring, check the aperture ring, 180 degrees opposite from the f5.6 mark.

<p>At least one of my Nikon lenses has it on the bottom edge of the barrel, and I needed a magnifying glass in strong light to see it (black numbers in black plastic.)</p>

<p>Yes it is, embossed into the plastic, easy to overlook.</p>

<p>Glad you found it. This topic comes up a couple of times a year. E.g.: http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00cXOl</p>
