Hi All,
Where do you find the serial numbers for NIkon Lenses?
The 70-200 has it on the plate but I can't find them on the 50mm or 85mm???

They are there. Usually stamped directly onto the black body close to the mounting ring. They are often very difficult to see, so you'll need to hold the lens up to the light at the right angle.
Cheers
John

they are easy to miss, esp when they are stamped with that light grey/yellowy colour

usually stamped above or below the serial, but most lenses (nikon) are made in china, with only the pro lenses being made in japan
