====================

Nikon's Series E lenses were interchangeable lenses developed to go with the compact lightweight Nikon EM (1980-1982). Naturally, these lenses would be made of lighter plastics and some compromises, to make it equally light and cheap.

Optical design by Yutaka Iizuka. His design was meticulously planned so that it would render pleasing background blur for portraits, yet still produce sharp images wide at f/3.5 despite low element count. The secret was less optical correction toward closer range.

Nikon Series E Zoom 75-150mm f/3.5 was famously used by Galen Rowell for the 1981 cover of National Georgraphic, which depicts a rainbow shining over the Potala Palace in Tibet.
