Nikon Series E 70-210mm f/4 - Nikon F Mount

The Nikon Series E 70-210mm f/4 is a manual focus telephoto zoom lens featuring a constant f/4 maximum aperture. Part of the Series E line designed to be lightweight and affordable, it nonetheless offers good optical performance and a durable metal mount. The push-pull design facilitates quick changes in focal length and focus simultaneously. Prospective buyers should check for 'zoom creep', a frequent trait of this model where the lens barrel slides easily when tilted. SDS checks the internal elements for fungus and haze, which can develop over decades. The aperture ring should click decisively, and the blades must be free of oil. We also inspect the front and rear glass for cleaning marks or scratches that could affect contrast.
