Wonderful pictures but so different from each other! Are these colors accidental or you have control over them?

Great shot!
I don't recall seeing this before, is it the Hairy (or Winter) Vetch? Do you have an image with leaves?

Great shots! I suspect everyone will be asking how you did it.

I'd be a little skeptical of the ratings on this site. You'll also find that 42nd St Photo is at 8.05 and 47th St Photo at 9.99 (!).
I agree, this is a poorly produced site, suspiciously biased toward stores known to be bad (hard to believe 42nd St. higher than B@H!). Was this site prepared by Martians or Mafians?

I did send an email yesterday to Nikon, but used the S/N from the Exif file. As suggested by another Hog, I finally found it barely visible on the aperture ring: 208060. I'll update my email to Nikon with the correct number and see what they say. Thanks for all the advice.
Good for you! You found it and it's a nice one, easy to remember.

Send Nikon the serial number and description and see what they say. I would be interested in results
The serial number on this lens is barely visible. It has been pressed on the last black ring of the lens where it attaches to the camera. It has six digits. The OP has not provided us with it or even with a photo of the lens.

Word of mouth amounts to verification ? I found this while researching... Nikon likely bought out plants in Thailand & China....

We have been discussing prime Nikkor lenses. I would keep my ears wide open for any real proof that any of them were not made by Nikon or in Japan.

You are right, the lens was manufactured by Nikon.
As far as I know Nikon does not rely on any other company to make its lenses. Tokina was founded by some optical engineers that used to work for Nikon but their resemblance stops right there.
Until today Nikon continues to manufacture its own lenses with their own raw materials.

Thank you for verifying. Please note that JPL on page 2 of this thread has actually solved the mystery as a computer mistake or camera glitch.

I encourage the OP to find a picture of the lens in question that is branded Tokina (they made the same lens) and compare the image to his Nikon Nikkor. That will help sort this out a bit.
MT Shooter has posted an image of the Tokina lens. I appreciate your effort to write an essay on manufacturers making lenses for each other. I am well aware of this practice. I was only trying to express doubt that Nikon (one of the premier lens manufacturers) would release a prime, new lens made by someone else.

Lens branding has been common for years. Sigma, To... (show quote)
I have owned this lens for many years (picture attached). It was introduced in 1993 and was the predecessor of AF 17-35 and like it it maintains f/2.8 aperture throughout. It has a filter thread of 77mm, 14 elements in 11 groups. It was Nikon's first AF lens for extreme wide-angle range. The serial number of mine is 242267. There is no indication on it that it was made by Tokina or any other company.

I wonder if anyone in UHH owns one of these and could share a few shots with us!

It would help to see an image or two of your lens.

Nikon and Canon also sell their products through the internet, even have discounts. Check them out!

Scott, I love your photos and your flickr site. You are a Nikon Man, so am I. I was simply curious about the SD 1 Merrill but so far no owner of it has replied. Is it a ghost camera?
