---It is close-focus for a zoom, and unusually good for a zoom at

---Dunno - almost all the Nikkor 50's are excellent, including the
---cheap E and AF (which are the same optical design).
>Finally, do all Nikon lens have serial numbers? I've inspected my

---Look on the aperture ring - it is barely visible.

---Yes.
