I have a late serial-number copy (in the last batch of 10,000, probably from the final year of production in 1985) and it has very good focus stiffness and no zoom-creep.  I think they (mostly) fixed the issues later in production, but of course I might also just be lucky!  It's a lovely lens, and in fact my only zoom lens.  It is a great design, both optically, and also just utility: Small and light, with a very useful portrait range.

Plus the 75-150 handles using a +4T attachment very well. So you use it for close-ups (not 'true macro' by any stretch of imagination, of course).

One of the easily bent tabs on the back of the earliest 75-150/3.5E is the "Lens Speed Indexing Post." I'm not sure which cameras use that post. Perhaps the FA and FG?

The FA was the first AiS-standard supporting body, and then the FG as you say, followed by the F301 and F501 for consumer bodies (I think that's the complete list: The FG-20 for example dropped support).  The F4 was the first pro body supporting AiS, then the F5 still had it, but the F6 dropped it I believe.

I have not done this myself, but here are some instructions:

I am not skilled enough for that but these instructions are very useful.

What makes it quite desirable compared to the 80-200 f/4 N AI and, to a lesser extent, the 80-200 f/4 AIS and the 50-135 f3,5 is the minimum focus distance.
