Info on Nikon 70-150 f3.5 Lens

antiquerookie · Mar 28, 2011

Anybody have experience with a Nikon 70-150 f3.5 E series lens? I bought an FE on eBay and this lens and a 50mm f1.8 E lens came with it. I've shot a few pix with it and it seems OK but it doesn't show up on Nikon lens data tables.

Nikkor 75-150mm Series E lens review

Very first entry from a web search. Quite a few more available.

Use 'Nikkor" and not 'Nikon' in your search string.

Thanks Patrice, that's exactly the info I was looking for. As a bonus, I now have a source for info on almost all the lenses I have or am curious about. The only one that I have that wasn't on the list was the 28-200 G that I just got to go on my F100. Rockwell thinks highly of the 28-200 but I'd llike to find another opinion.

I don't think Rockwell even knows how to attach a lens to camera........

Actually, the lens is not a NIKKOR, it is a Nikon Series E 75-150mm f/3.5. I have one. I've owned two over the years. Pretty good lens, actually, even by today's standards.

I was surprised to see Thom Hogan's error of calling the lens a "NIKKOR" in his review...

Here is some pretty good information about the lens. http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photograph...gfg20/eserieslenses/htmls/36150mm.htm#75150mm

Derrel is right, that lens is badged as a 'nikon'. The suggestion to replace 'nikon' with 'nikkor' is simply to help google find the articles where some nikon lenses are mistakenly called nikkors, and vis versa.
