Serial numbers can be found in different places on your lens. They do not have a standard location, but they are fairly easy to find. Just have a look at your Nikon lens and scan the surface. The serial number can be easily found because it is usually printed in white to help it stand out from the black lens.
Some might be found on the body of the lens while others are on the glass. Have a look around and you will eventually find the serial number. If you are having trouble with finding the serial number on your lens due to the numbers being scratched out from wear and tear, check the original box it came in.
Although those are the important times to really have a look at your Nikon lens serial number, there are ways to check Nikon lens serial numbers online. You can find websites that can give you helpful information about your Nikon lens. Read more reviews ». Latest buying guides.

The Nikkormat FT2 , manufactured from to , added a permanently affixed hot shoe to the top of the pentaprism cover, combined the two PC terminals into one and switched the light meter battery to a non-toxic silver cell, one 1.
ASA adjustment also featured a lock and an easier slider than previous models. The advance lever was more contoured with an added plastic grip. The FT2's viewfinder also switched to Nippon Kogaku's new standard Type K focusing screen with 3 mm split image rangefinder and 1 mm microprism collar focusing aids plus 12 mm etched circle indicating the area of the meter centerweighting.
The numerous little improvements on the FT2 directly reflected customer suggestions for the FTn. The Nikkormat FT3 , manufactured for only several months in but still available new from dealer stock in , had the shortest production run of any Nippon Kogaku SLR. AI Nikkor lenses had an external 'meter coupling ridge' cam on the lens aperture ring that pushed on an external 'meter coupling lever' on a ring surrounding the FT3's lens mount flange to transfer lens set aperture information.
They will mount and meter properly under manual focus on the FT3. They will mount, but will not function properly. The FT3 was little more than a stopgap placeholder, awaiting the release of the first of the completely redesigned Nikon compact F-series SLRs, the all-new Nikon FM, with a more compact chassis, in late The metering system was considered one of the best on the market at the time, [ citation needed ] as the Nikkormat FT3 remained a very popular camera with professionals and amateurs alike.
The Nikkormat EL was an all-metal, electromechanically some solid-state electronics, but mostly springs, gears and levers controlled, manual-focus SLR with manual exposure control or aperture-priority autoexposure, manufactured in Japan from to The EL had dimensions of This was large and heavy compared to many other SLRs of the mids.
The battery also powered the camera's coupled 'match-needle' exposure metering system. This consisted of two needles pointing along a vertical shutter-speed scale visible in the viewfinder. In automatic mode, the EL's black needle indicated the shutter speed automatically set by the camera in response to the light available and the lens aperture set by the user.
The green needle just indicated that the EL was in 'A' mode. Setting a manual-exposure camera to expose the film properly takes two steps, even after taking a light meter reading. Autoexposure systems that greatly simplified the process were a boon when first introduced in the Konica AutoReflex Autorex in Japan in Nikon's autoexposure system was advanced at the EL's launch in , and proved to be long-lived. In common with other manufacturers' first-generation electronic autoexposure SLRs, the EL had a reputation for rapidly draining batteries; later models had much more energy-efficient electronics.
Like the contemporary Nikkormat FTN see above , the EL accepted all 'rabbit-ear' Nikkor lenses requiring a double-twist of the lens aperture ring on mounting , and its viewfinder had a choice of Type J or Type A fixed focusing-screens.
The Nikkormat ELW , manufactured from to , was an EL modified to accept the Nikon AW-1 autowinder, providing motorized film advance at up to two frames per second. The ELW also expanded the automatic shutter speed range to eight seconds, and its viewfinder was fitted with a new standard focusing screen, the Type K see the Nikkormat FT2 above. The Nikon EL2 was manufactured from to and was essentially identical to the ELW, but with the addition of instant response silicon photodiode light meter sensors and support for Nikkor lenses with the new Automatic Indexing AI feature see the Nikkormat FT3 above.
The EL2 also abandoned the Nikkormat name the Nikkormat FT3 being the last of the Nikkormat line which had distinguished these cameras from the better known Nikon-badged models. The F combined every SLR technological advance available in automatic diaphragm lenses, instant return mirror and eye-level pentaprism viewfinder into an integrated package with mechanical durability and reliability, plus optical quality.
