Please, Where is the D-70 SN? I flipped it over, I removed the lens, no
visual SN. I know.....If I can't find the SN, I shouldn't own the camera. I
hope you will humor an old guy.

Thanks

Well, alt least on the box for my D70 kit there is a sticker on the bottom
with both the camera and kit lens serial #s.

Yes, thanks. I was looking for the number on the camera itself.

It's tough to find - etched into the bottom but not colored in.  I had to
flip the camera over half a dozen times before I found it.  It starts
somewhere just above the 'k' in Nikon on the label.  See:

Bugger, they didn't make it easy to see.

Perfect. Thank you.

It is on the bottom. You will need bright light and a magnifying glass to
read it.
MrB - 29 Dec 2004 01:14 GMT
Got it! You are right. A light at the right angle and it is sort of easy to
see. Thank you for your reply.

You probably have your answer by now, but, besides the box, it is stamped into
the base of the camera, albeit in tiny characters. I did the same thing as
you, until I found it. I needed a loupe to actually read it, and found out
that I missed read two numerals, when checked against the box.

MrB,

I think OUR problem comes from having had too many Nikons in the past. Then,
the SN was usually on the top plate, or even under the Photomic meter-head, OR
under the lens mount. I had always wondered what 1pt type was used for, now I
know - it's for the Nikon D70 SN!!!!!!

Roger that. The SN must be considered semi-secret. Anyway, I have my answer
and I thank all who replied.

Thanks folks!  For the question and the answers.  I just got mine
yesterday, so now the adventure begins.  I have a feeling that I'll be
busy adding knowledge as I shoot pictures for many months to come and
this was a great place to start.  Not having hit 60 yet, I was starting
to wonder where the 'old man' moniker kicked in until someone showed
the way.  At 58, that's mighty damn small print and until you hit the
exact right angle with the light, there is no contrast at all.  Now
that I feel young again, I think I'll take my new camera for a walk.
Happy New Year!

Congrats on your new camera.

63 here

Just stick a 17-35 2.8 on the fromt and you'll see evrything a whole lot
better, if fact you'll not even feel the camera is there cos the lens is
almost twice the weight of the camera!! Oh yes, it removes quite a lot of
weight from your bank account too!!!
