This page lists every Nikon lens version and sub-version I know of. Minor changes to internal mechanics, lens coating, engravings or electronics may not be listed. For each version up to four serial numbers are given: Start < Earliest - Latest > End. Start and End serial numbers are from Nikon Ai conversion lists, service manuals, catalogues and various books. The Earliest and Latest serial numbers are from lenses I have seen. They help confirm the Start and End numbers or indicate the range where the Start and End numbers are unknown.
Note: Pictures of pre-Ai versions may be of Ai converted lenses. Versions with the same optical design are grouped together. Different optical variants are separated by a thick line, minor optical updates are separated by a thin dark line. Serial number blocks are separated by a thin pale line.
