75–150mm · f/3.5
The Nikon Series E 75-150mm f/3.5 is a compact, lightweight zoom lens offering good value. Optically, it delivers very sharp center performance at 75mm, especially stopped down to f/8, but corners are softer at 150mm wide open. It suffers from notable zoom creep and a loose push-pull ring, making precise handling difficult. Flare resistance is poor. Best suited for handheld use on a budget, particularly for portraits and travel, where its unique rendering and bokeh are appreciated.
