Product Description
Nikon 45mm f/2.8D ED PC-E Nikkor Lens Overview
The PC-E NIKKOR lens series features a tilt/shift mechanism that provides
extraordinary control over the relationship between the optical axis of the lens
and the image plane, thereby enabling Perspective Control. This function proves
particularly valuable for specialized professional users such as architecture
and product photographers.
Perspective control with tilt/shift function
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.
