About this product

Product Information

Nikon photography gear is known for its high level of professionalism and performance. The Nikon Nikkor Ai-S 75-150 mm lens was only produced for a short time between 1980 and 1983. This classic equipment remains relevant even today thanks to its robust manufacturing and solid, reliable performance. This popular lens has survived the test of time, and for good reason. The Nikon Nikkor Ai-S 75-150mm pairs excellent optical quality with a simple compact design to make this lens a staple in every pro’s camera bag. The Nikon Nikkor Ai-S 75-150mm is a camera lens that delivers big surprises in spite of coming in a small package. The Ai-S 75-150 is a vintage lens, but in spite of many technological advances in photographic equipment, many photographers still consider it one of the most convenient. It is a very fast, light, and sharp lens that was created to fit on a Nikon digital camera. The lens provides an ordinary barrel distortion and a falloff for the images that you capture when using it. When you take pictures with this lens, you get images that are sharp in the center with hazy, softer corners for a dreamy effect. The diminutive and lightweight lens design means that it fits neatly in most camera bags, making it easy to keep it on hand and ready to use when the great shot appears in front of you. The Nikon Nikkor Ai-S 75-150 mm camera lens measures 4.9 inches/125mm long by 2.6 inches/65mm in diameter, and weighs in at 18 ounces/520 grams. The metal barrel, mount, and filter threads give this lens a very solid overall build and make it suitable for long-term durability. Contrary to modern two ring design, this Nikkor Ai-S 75-150 mm lens uses a simple push/pull action to zoom and focus. This manual focus feature of the Nikon Nikkor Ai-S 75-150 mm lens gives you complete control over your photography gear. Create a sharp photo series from telephoto to wide angle with unmatched image quality using the Nikon Nikkor Ai-S 75-150 mm lens. This Nikon Nikkor lens has a convenient zooming and focusing system, 7 straight-bladed aperture stopping down to f/32 for greater depth-of-field, and a 52mm metal filter thread. It marks three options for focal length at 75/100/150 mm, as well as depth-of-field curves marked for f/16 and f/32, and an infrared-focusing curve. The aperture ring has solid click stops that professional photographers will find pleasant to work with. The Nikon Nikkor Ai-S offers amazing sharpness and is an economical alternative to your normal lens and other more expensive Nikon zoom lenses. This zoom lens is suitable for most subjects, like portraits, snapshots and scenic shots, all made possible by the wide angle, normal, and short telephoto focal lengths of this amazingly light and compact lens. You can easily photograph fast-moving subjects thanks to easy operation of the single focus ring. The Nikon Nikkor Ai-S 75-150 mm lens is high performance and is visually well suited for use with f/2 and f/3 cameras to add sharpness to your photography. With a low zoom ratio of only 75-150mm, the lens can image quite cleanly throughout its entire range and produce outstanding images from full wide-angle to full telephoto. Performance is unmatched with this Nikon lens.

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.
