I'm curious about the 24mm. Nikkor didn't make too many 24 lenses, is this the AF D 2.8? If so, condition?
Thanks

Looking at the serial number, I believe it is an AiS version. Maybe the OP can take another photo of this lens. It would have an aperture ring.
Update; I believe the last photo the OP posted is of the 24mm lens.

Ah yes, the D lens has no aperture ring. So it is an older lens, excellent but more manual than I would like.

Srfdude, "G" series lenses do NOT have an aperture ring. "D" (and older) series lenses DO!

Well I'm not sure how the "G" lens came into this discussion; I'm aware the Gs don't have the ring. I was referring to the tab (probably not the correct nomenclature) on the aperture ring that the older A and AI lenses have, and the D lenses don't. But to be precise yes the older lenses do have the ring. I need to be more careful in my terminology.

The tab is more commonly known as the metering prong. It was only required for non-AI auto diaphragm lenses, and was dropped from all E-Series and autofocus lenses.

In reality, many AI and AIS lenses were either made with or retrofitted with the tabs, which were also called "wings" and "ears" to permit their use on older bodies. Take a look at many of the later manual focus lenses; you will see two indentations on the ring which were indicator marks for the addition of tabs.

Actually, all AI/AIS lenses were fitted with the prong. I should have written that they were only needed to mate with the metering pin on non (pre) AI cameras.

Actually, that's probably true, but a great number were removed because they were not needed.

Yep, I've removed all of mine, and put the screws back in. Usually have to shorten them a thread or two, else the aperture ring will bind.
