Review of Nikon Lens Series E Zoom 75-150mm 1:3.5 (MKII)
Many thanks to Konstantin Puchkov for the provided Nikon Lens Series E Zoom 75-150mm 1:3.5 (MKII) lens.

Briefly
Nikon Lens Series E Zoom 75-150mm 1:3.5 (MKII) is an old manual focus telephoto camera designed for Nikon film cameras. The lens uses a PUSH-PULL (trombone) design. Good at open apertures, not bad for its age. It attracts with its constant relative aperture over the entire range of focal lengths, low cost and decent image quality.
The 'Nikon Lens Series E' lenses are one of Nikon's simplest lenses. These lenses were used as standard lenses for entry-level Nikon film cameras (Nikon Super Compact Bodies: EM, FG, FG20). The 'E' series can easily be called the whale lenses of its time. They were developed as cheap lenses for a wide range of users. Typically these lenses had slightly worse body and optics quality than more advanced Nikon lenses. Nevertheless, the 'E' series is highly valued by many fans for its light weight and good image quality. None of the 'E' lenses bear the name 'Nikkor' , which is what all 'real' Nikon lenses are called. Most likely, this lens was made for Nikon by third-party manufacturers. The letter 'E' is most likely associated with the first inexpensive Nikon EM camera, for which a line of similar lenses was primarily developed.

Story
Nikon Lens Series E Zoom 75-150mm 1:3.5 is an AI-compatible lens (it can transmit the aperture value to cameras that have an aperture rheostat; there will be no problems with it when installed on any Nikon central control system). Does not have metal 'ears' to work on older NON-AI film cameras.
There are a total of 8 Nikon Series E , of which 5 are prime lenses and 3 are zoom lenses:
- Nikon Lens Series E 28mm 1:2.8 MKI
- Nikon Lens Series E 28mm 1:2.8 MKII
- Nikon Lens Series E 35mm 1:2.5 MKI
- Nikon Lens Series E 35mm 1:2.5 MKII
- Nikon Lens Series E 50mm 1:1.8 MKI
- Nikon Lens Series E 50mm 1:1.8 MKII
- Nikon Lens Series E 100mm 1:2.8 MKI
- Nikon Lens Series E 100mm 1:2.8 MKII
- Nikon Lens Series E 135mm 1:2.8
- Nikon Lens Series Zoom E 36-72mm 1:3.5
- Nikon Lens Series Zoom E 75-150mm 1:3.5 MKI
- Nikon Lens Series Zoom E 75-150mm 1:3.5 MKII
- Nikon Lens Series E Zoom 70-210mm 1:4
MKI versions have a black plastic case, MKII - with a chrome insert for depth of field marks.
Please note that the lens from the review had an additional special chip installed. Why this chip is needed is described in detail in the section Dandelion Lushnikov.

Nikon Lens Series E Zoom 75-150mm 1:3.5 is very similar to its old brother - Nikon Zoom-NIKKOR 80-200mm 1:4.5. The lenses have the same controls, and are based on the same optical design.

Assembly, control, focusing
The lens body is made of very high quality . The diameter of the filter for the front lens, as for a lens of this type, is generally tiny and amounts to only 52 mm. The piston and diaphragm rings are not rubberized. While focusing and changing focal length, the rear lens of the lens remains stationary. When changing focal length, the length of the lens does not change.
One ring is responsible for focusing and changing the focal length. To change the focal length, pull or push the piston ring; to focus, rotate it. Nikon 75-150/3.5 uses ' reversible PUSH-PULL ' - the maximum focal length is available when the piston ring is closest to the camera mount.
The Nikon 75-150/3.5 focus ring rotates approximately 180 degrees . During focusing, the front lens rotates and moves forward. On the body there is a focusing distance scale, a depth of field scale (in the form of colored stripes) and a mark for working in the infrared spectrum. The lens has a hard stop (hard infinity mechanical stop), which allows you to accurately and quickly focus the lens to infinity under any external temperature conditions.
Nikon 75-150/3.5 has a pronounced 'Focus Breathing' effect (changing the viewing angle while focusing). When focusing towards the MDF, the viewing angle decreases. Due to the fact that the focusing ring is quite wide and has a large and smooth movement, the 'Focus Breathing' effect is almost invisible during focusing.
Unfortunately, the lens changes focal length under the weight of its own piston. The effect of spontaneous movement of the piston on the sample from the review is very, very pronounced. There are rumors that in the first version of this lens (without the chrome ring) this effect is not pronounced.
How to use Nikon manual lenses (such as this one - without a CPU and with manual focus) on any modern Nikon DSLR camera or on 'Nikon 1' system cameras is described in the 'manual optics' section. Old lenses are sometimes attractive to Canon camera owners, who can use them on their cameras just as well as on their original Nikon cameras. To do this, just use a Nikon - Canon adapter. Of course, manual lenses from SLR cameras can be used on any mirrorless cameras using an adapter.

Image quality
First of all, I would like to note that the F/3.5 aperture, in terms of sharpness, works over the entire range of focal lengths. At closed apertures, Nikon 75-150/3.5 can pleasantly surprise.
The weak point is working in backlight (
) and freezing. Non-rounded aperture blades can create nuts. Overall the lens has nice bokeh.
Relative aperture 1:3.5 is only one and a half times smaller than 1:2.8. At the same time, the cost of zoom lenses with 1:2.8 is several times higher. In sunny weather, F/3.5 allows you to use very short shutter speeds at low ISOs, which makes shooting comfortable, and you don’t have to worry about blurring the image due to movement. At ISO 200 and F/3.5, I often used a shutter speed of 1/2000 second.

Results
The strength of the Nikon Lens Series E Zoom 75-150mm 1:3.5 is its good sharpness, especially at closed apertures. It is very difficult to find a cheaper lens with a constant aperture of F/3.5 across the entire focal length range. The weakest side is the spontaneous movement of the piston and poor resistance to flare. I recommend this lens for leisurely creative photography.
