Search Lens model by serial number?

[azul123]

Anyone know how I can find out what lens it is with just a serial number? My friend had found me a lens in US but he wasn't exactly sure what aperture it is, just gave me a serial number.

Appreciate the help if there is a url to enter the lens serial number better still.

A serial number by itself won't be of much use as Nikon have always used the same sequential serial numbering system for each and every lens. Ask your friend to send you a photo of the lens and in particular the front element region of the lens if it's an older lens.
