Identification

These frames record only the lens's focal length and maximum aperture (14mm f/2.8), not its model, so the specific version cannot be determined from the photos alone.

Versions confirmed in other frames. Some frames recorded with these same specifications also carry a Nikon lens ID number that identifies the exact lens. Those frames are counted on that lens's own page:

Lens confirmed by lens IDFrames
AF Nikkor 14mm f/2.8D ED29

The 188 frames on this page carry no lens ID, so their version is unknown. They should not be assumed to split in the same proportions.

Lenses in ExifTool's lens table with these specifications (candidates):

  • AF Nikkor ED 14mm f/2.8D
  • Sigma 14mm F2.8 EX Aspherical HSM
  • Tamron SP AF 14mm f/2.8 Aspherical (IF) (69E)

Candidate list from the ExifTool 13.59, lib/Image/ExifTool/Nikon.pm (%nikonLensIDs), github.com/exiftool/exiftool commit 2200871d9cef988051d2a99d67df3bda6cbb30a8, retrieved 2026-10-01. It covers lenses ExifTool knows, not every lens ever made.
