·DESCRIPTION

The Nikon PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED Tilt-Shift Lens is an ultra-wide lens with special "Perspective Control" tilt and shift functions, making it ideal for architectural and nature photography. Using tilt and shift correction will help obtain a natural-looking perspective by eliminating distortion such as keystoning that can appear in architectural images. It features ±8.5° of tilt along with ±11.5mm of shift, and each can be used either by itself or in combination with the other. The mount can also rotate 90° left and right for setting which axis to have the shift and tilt set to.

Three ED glass elements provide improved sharpness and colour, while Nikon's Nano Crystal Coat virtually eliminates internal reflections for greater image quality. Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC) offers outstanding colour performance and substantially reduced ghosting and flare and three aspherical elements help control distortion and aberrations. Additionally, it has a rounded 9-blade diaphragm for smooth out-of-focus areas.

·Wide shifting range of ±11.5mm, with a tilting range of ±8.5°.

·Three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements offer superior sharpness and colour correction by effectively minimising chromatic aberration.

·Three aspherical elements virtually eliminate coma and other types of lens aberration even at the widest aperture.

·The Nano Crystal Coat virtually eliminates internal reflections across a wide range of wavelengths for even greater image clarity

·High-performance Super Integrated Coating (SIC) offers superior colour performance and substantially reduced ghosting and flare.

·Rounded 9-blade diaphragm for more natural appearance of out-of-focus image elements.
