QUOTE(geekster129 @ Oct 11 2011, 06:49 PM) I think the Nanocoat is purely marketing strategies, I believe there are so much more features to look into (newer) pro grade lenses, e.g. amount of glass elements, etc. These lenses no doubt will give extraordinary color renditions, bokeh rendition, sharpness, etc when used correctly. So called "premium" image quality of what you have paid for to give you the satisfaction in the outcome. DISCLAIMER: This doesn't mean cheaper glass sucks. Just more satisfaction from more expensive glasses. Does Nikon pro grade lenses have weather resistance? nanocoat not really marketing strategy. some ppl dont like nanocoat cos its pretty flare resistant, so they cant get the desired flare they want in portraits sometimes. but since it reduces flare etc, it also boots contrast...and increase contrast usually gives the illusion of greater sharpness.

Sorry, i misread your Q just now, that site only allow u to check the production / how old the lens through the serial number. For stolen goods, no idea maybe LYN thread http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/631855

Any help will be very much appreciated..  well, u obviously cannot tell if a unit is stolen unless someone has reported the serial as stolen...and i dont know of any database existing for that. but if ur lens is stolen, there are search sites that can trawl thru the exif data of phots online and see which pics contain ur lens serial number. imo, best option is to ask nikon malaysia and pass them the serial number and see if they have any had reported cases matching the serial.

UWA lens produces photo of different (wider) perspective... makes ur foreground look bigger... different effect from a standard prime lens... only downside is the zoom range is very limited and is to me a dedicated UWA lens...

Oo... FYI, I am in Australia now. The site the seller use is a public adv site where people can post their adv for free and once done deal the ad can be deleted by seller. But i guess I can keep the sms for evidence... Thanks for the advise! This post has been edited by ikki9394: Oct 12 2011, 12:28 AM
