Nikon Serial Number Check Canada
Kanisha Dezarn
Also, how much of a benefit would it be to have a USA version over a gray market considering this lens MIGHT already be three or four years old (I think the 18-35 G series lenses were first released around March of 2013???)
The exception would be something cheap that repairs would be more than it cost anyway, so I'd consider it disposable ( as would be a Nikon USA or Nikon Canada one ) or I would buy Nikon USA product her in Canada for the right deal, as Nikon Canada would service it for a price anyway.
Nikon USA needs to check inside to see if the inside markings match the serial number displayed. They should be able to tell you if the serial number displayed is a Nikon USA number, and you can take the chance on whether someone changed that or not.
Sometimes Nikon USA won't repair a gray market lens/product even for a fee. I don't think there is much risk and if Nikon USA won't repair there are many 3rd party, competent repair shops in the US that will.
If you are getting a good price and the lens is in good working order than there is little risk. However, I might pay a little more from a reputable seller. I would check eBay completed auctions to see what they are going for.
The thing is, I really kind of only need it for two to three weeks while my other camera and lens get repaired. I have a few jobs coming up and I would have to use my DX Sigma 10-20 on my D750 for a few weeks if I DON'T get this 18-35 G lens
Getting it and reselling at a loss would still be cheaper than renting for a few weeks...assuming you get it for the right price. I've done that before and ended up keeping the lens for a long time and selling it for near what I paid to get a free or close to free long term rental.
According to him, US numbers for 18-35 G start with 60. The non-US numbers are from 201625 - 227499, in his serial numbers' table. Perhaps you should contact him about his range needing to be updated?

With my camera having sat for five or six days at the Nikon Canada service center, I was getting fidgety. Around this time, the internet was awash with new reports of Nikon Z8 issues, with several new owners relaying alarming stories of their cameras dropping to the ground after their shoulder strap attachment eyelets ripped clean out of the camera body. It seemed only a matter of time before Nikon would issue another service advisory for this second issue, and I could only hope that my camera was not affected.
Sure enough, a day later, it became official. The Z8 strap eyelet issues were the real deal, and Nikon was once again forced to issue an official product advisory asking Z8 users to check their serial numbers. On the plus side, Nikon already had a page for Z8 product advisories, so they combined the two issues into one page. At least they could be efficient about it, but what does it say about a company when their most important camera in a decade is hit with two recalls right off the bat? Was the Z8 rushed out the door? It certainly seems that way.
Thankfully, the answer to my question was yes, they could deal with the strap eyelet issue while my Z8 was there. In fact, they had been checking for the issue on all cameras that were in for the mount recall that week. Mine was up for repair that afternoon, and I was told it would be shipped back by air the next business day. Interestingly, they were clearly made aware of the issue and given a procedure to fix it quite a few days before the official recall was announced.
I got lucky here. I have no doubt some people sent their Z8 in for the mount repair, only to receive it back and then find out it needed to go in again for the strap eyelet repair. Had this happened to me, I would have been most frustrated. Due to the to-and-fro shipping times from Ontario to the Yukon, my Z8 was gone for two weeks.
That said, Nikon did the best it could do in the situation: it owned up to the problems and offered a seamless, friendly service experience. At least, that was my experience dealing with Nikon Canada. Sure, they ran a little long on their estimation of the service time, but I suspect that this was caused by the fact that right as my camera arrived at their facility, they began fixing the strap eyelet issue on all cameras that were in for the mount servicing. This would have been unexpected and certainly added to the per-camera service time. They should have adjusted their estimations by now.

Nikon USA issued a service advisory for the reflection/flare issue on the D750 camera. To check if your camera is affected and needs to be repaired, you can enter your serial number on this website (here is the EU link). A black dot inside the tripod socket on the bottom of the camera will indicated if the D750 cameras has already been serviced.
We have received indications from some users that when photographing scenes in which a bright light source, such as the sun or high-intensity lighting, is at a certain position along the top border of the frame, flare with an unnatural shape may sometimes occur in images captured with the D750 digital SLR camera.
For those who have already purchased a D750 and would like to have their camera serviced to correct this issue, Nikon service centers will service cameras as indicated below. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused.
If your camera is affected, as confirmed with serial number check above you will be provided with information on requesting service from your nearest Nikon service center. The service center will inspect and service light-shielding components, and adjust AF sensor position, to resolve the occurrence of unnaturally shaped flare free of charge. This service will not have any effect on autofocus precision, or on the performance of other camera functions.

AFAIK Professional Nikon bodies have serial numbers with 2XXXXXXX only now, Australia and NZ is a weird situation since you guys never had your own country code before so you will surely get a mixed bag. You were getting UK country code due to being in the Commonwealth I assume. The D3X always had a 5XXXXXX serial number however.
JADiniz:
The country code above is a guide, I have no clue if Nikon Japan actually sends the bodies strictly to those countries involved and if and how and why they are sent elsewhere. Also if the camera has a big production run, other serial number country codes would be used if the current one is filled up.
I have a feeling they are affixed upon importation to each country but this is a guess:

But then the serial number is also now in the EXIF data as well so...there goes that theory.
PLEASE ONLY POST SERIAL NUMBERS HERE from now on thank you. Any other postings would be DELETED. There are other threads open for such discussions.
