Nikon PC-E Micro 45mm f/2.8D ED Manual Focus Lens

The Nikon Standard, Perspective Control (PC) Lens features tilt, shift and rotation capability. A shifting range of 11.5mm width, with a tilting range of 8.5-degrees, provides exceptional perspective control. Incorporating an electromagnetic diaphragm, this lens provides auto Aperture control when used with D3, D700 and D300 Digital SLR cameras for improved operability. Nano Crystal Coat effectively reduces ghosting and flare to provide sharper, more vivid images. All PC-E NIKKOR lens with Perspective Control capability incorporate a special tilt/shift mechanism. The shift mechanism enables the lens to be moved parallel to the image plane, so that subjects such as a tall building can be captured faithfully, without the upper part appearing to tilt backward and become thinner. The tilt mechanism changes the orthogonal relationship between the Optical axis of the lens and the image plane, allowing you to control the focused area. In landscape photography, you can achieve a focus throughout the entire subject plane from near to distant. You can also achieve focus on a specific part of the subject for emphasis. In actual shooting situations, the shift and tilt mechanisms are used together to adjust perspective, Distortion of the subject, and focus area.
