![]() When he noticed that this, too, had been returned with a new serial number, he contacted Nikon directly. So when the second lens came back more recently, he gave it a good look over. Now, this photographer checks all repairs with much more scrutiny, particularly the serial number. Nor, apparently, do they provide any updated documentation for the new number that is assigned to the lens. Of course, they don’t tell you that they’re doing this. He discovered at the time that Nikon sometimes needs to replace the part which contains the serial number. It turns out that Nikon sometimes have to replace the part of the lens with the serial number stamped on it, but they seem to forget to tell you, hence you don’t know they have done this. The first repair was about 6 months ago, the lens came back but due to the problems I realised the serial number had been changed. ![]() While he normally doesn’t look at returned repair items this closely, due to the nature of the original damage, he spotted that the serial number was different to that which he’d sent in. The two lenses he mentions in his Facebook post were both sent back to Nikon at different times. After I saw it, we sent him a message to find out a little more about exactly what had happened. This particular Nikon shooter took to Facebook to post about the topic in a group I’m in.
