<\/a><\/p>\nNikon PC-E Nikkor 24mm f\/3.5D ED<\/p><\/div>\n
Nikon Europe announced the PC-E Nikkor 24mm f\/3.5D ED, a 24mm wide-angle tilt\/shift lens for studio, architecture and landscape photography. Tilt\/shift lenses incorporate the ability to move the internal optical elements to produce an effect called perspective control (PC). The PC-E Nikkor 24mm lens offers a tilt\/shift capability range that leads its class, tilting up to +\/-8.5o and shifting +\/-11.5mm. The lens can be rotated a full 90\u00b0 degrees left or right with convenient clicks-stops at 30\u00b0 intervals. For precise manual focussing, the lens features compatibility with the electronic rangefinders in all Nikon SLRs, and offers auto-aperture control with the Nikon D3 \/ D300 cameras.<\/p>\n

\nPerspective control (PC) reduces distortion caused by the angle of camera relative to the subject, and is useful in architectural photography where the effect of converging vertical angles can be avoided. The perspective control offered by the Nikon PC-E Nikkor 24mm f\/3.5D ED is also invaluable in studio work where extreme depth of field effects can be achieved.<\/p>\n
