Identification

These frames record only the lens's focal length and maximum aperture (12-24mm f/4), not its model, so the specific version cannot be determined from the photos alone.

Frames in this group that also carry a Nikon lens ID number elsewhere were assigned to their exact lens. Lens ID numbers seen here, and the lens each one indicates:
