Nikon 85mm PC-E Micro NIKKOR f/2.8D Lens

Nikon 85mm PC-E Micro NIKKOR f/2.8D Lens $1,979.99 At Ritz Camera on 5-22-2012.

The new PC-E Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/2.8D lens, expands a series of lenses that allow photographers to effectively correct perspective and/or depth-of-field to push creative boundaries. This new Perspective Control (PC) lens corrects linear distortion in order to better replicate images as seen by the human eye, including straightening the converging lines of rectilinear objects such as buildings, while also introducing welcome command over depth-of-field. The versatility makes this the perfect lens complement for a myriad of applications, including photographing architecture, nature, interiors and still-life?especially product photography. When shooting subjects, such as tall buildings with a conventional lens, composition often calls for tilting the axis of a camera. This typically results in a significant distortion of converging lines, impacting the desired visual accuracy of the image. A PC-E NIKKOR lens' shift control provides correction for this type of distortion. Shift control can also give a photographer the ability to effectively move the apparent position of the camera?providing further perspective versatility, allowing, for example, the ability to avoid unwanted reflections in an image. A PC-E lens' tilt control gives photographers additional creative control over depth-of-field. Known as the Scheimpflug principal, tilt-shift lenses are capable of modifying the focal plane of the lens, allowing the extension or limitation of the point of critical sharpness in the image. The combination of tilt and shift controls featured in all PC-E NIKKOR lenses gives photographers extraordinary control over perspective?control which simply is not possible with conventional lenses. A special tilt/shift mechanism gives users up to +/- 11.5mm shift for perspective control and +/- 8.5-degree tilt control for creative focus. The Perspective Control lenses correct distortion and vanishing point issues with convenient side-mounted controls at 1mm / 1-degree intervals that will adjust the focal plane with shift and tilt adjustments. The lens optics rotate up to 90 degrees right or left for perspective control adjustment, while a click-stop is provided every 30 degrees. Photographers can confirm the effect of each adjustment accurately through their Nikon SLR viewfinder. The new PC-E Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/2.8D offera a combined standard-to-medium telephoto range coupled with dramatically expansive depth-of-field that is well suited for a variety of tasks and the exploration of new levels of creativity. All NIKKOR-E lenses incorporate a rounded nine-blade electromagnetic diaphragm that provides auto aperture control when used with Nikon SLRs that feature an electronically controlled aperture, including the D3, D300 and newly announced D700 camera.* This unique feature allows photographers to more easily compose images without the typical darkening of the frame experienced with other lenses of this type. *Some functions will be limited when used with cameras other than the D3, D700 and D300. The PC-E Micro 85mm f/2.8 D lens offers a 1:2 reproduction ratio and a medium-telephoto angle of view and increased camera-to-subject working distance that is preferable in many applications. In addition, the lens incorporates Nikon's Super Integrated coatings that deliver superior color reproduction, as well as Nikon's exclusive Nano Crystal Coat to virtually eliminate any remaining instances of ghosting and flare. The PC-E Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/2.8D lens is scheduled to become available in the U.S. beginning in August 2008.Select a Protection Plan Back To Top Nikon 85mm PC-E Micro NIKKOR f/2.8D Lens Available from Ritz Camera Price: $1,979.99 Updated on 5-22-2012.
