Nikon lens serial number table

[Iain MacIntosh]

Hi, I just bought a 2nd hand Nikon 300 f2.8 and I found this web page very useful in matching up serial numbers to check model types. Which is just as well as the lens turned out to be a different model to what was being advertised.

The specifications table on the same site is very useful too.

Mr Vink is a very nice chap. He's on another board I frequent and he's helped me out a few times with obscure questions about classic old Nikon lenses (of which I have a couple), macro technicalities and so on.
