Reviews
One of Nikon's best zoom lenses of the 80's The image quality is very high, very sharp when shooting in the aperture range f/5.6 to f/11. The build quality is great, compared to modern lens. The zoom/focus ring is loose, as is common for this type of push-pull nikon zoom lenses. It is something that can be easily fixed with some electrical tape to increase the zoom friction. If you like the look and feel of vintage lense images, this lens will not disappoint.
Probably the best of the Series E lenses The great thing about this lens is how light and compact it is for what you get. In exchange for giving up only 25% of the magnification of a 70-200mm f/2.8 (relative to a 50mm lens) and only 2/3 of a stop of maximum aperture, you get a lens that is 38% shorter and a whopping 64% lighter than the latest Nikon 70-200mm beast. Granted, you also lose autofocus and VR—but if you can do without those things, the 75-150mm Series E is a great option.
Beware of lens drift, fixed easily! - otherwise 100% valid optics, sharp already on fully open aperture. Nice colours, virtually no chromatic.
