[QUOTE="Cowboybillybob1, post: 97974, member: 11894"] From another camera forum: [COLOR=#0000CD]I called Nikon tech and they were quite helpful. "10" in a recycling logo stands for a particular type of plastic, just as any other number does. It means that, when you do recycle it, you need to recycle it with "10" type plastics. Now, the tech guy explained that, since all Nikon lenses everywhere are the same, this "10" and its inclusion on the lens barrel might be more significant for other markets than the US. He also noted that "How many people actually recycle a camera lens?"
