Nano Crystal and Super Integrated Coatings have been applied to lens elements to minimize surface and internal reflections for a marked reduction in lens flare and ghosting. Three extra-low dispersion elements help to reduce color fringing and chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and color accuracy. Up to 90° of rotation is also possible using the PC Rotation capability, and shift movements do not require locking or unlocking for use. Complementing the mechanical layout of the lens is an apt optical design, which includes three extra-low dispersion elements and two aspherical elements to reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations for improved clarity and sharpness. Additionally, 90° rotation is possible left and right, with stops at 30° intervals, and the tilting mechanism can also rotate 90° left with a stop at 45° to suit shooting in the vertical orientation. Up to +/- 7.5° of tilt is possible, for focus control, and +/- 12mm of shift, to adjust perspective and composition, and tilt can be applied parallel or perpendicular to shift. "That's the magic of perspective control.The PC NIKKOR 19mm f/4E ED from Nikon allows you to impart both tilt and shift movements to control focus and perspective, as well as apply the movements independently for more creative flexibility. ![]() Graham shoots outdoors and inside, but the purpose of the 19mm lens is the same: keep the camera perpendicular to the building or the interior lines of the room, and the shift function takes care of that. "Nearly all my work in the architectural world became optically corrected images rather than post-production corrected," he says.Īnd if he finds himself in tight spots or small places where even the 19mm isn't wide enough, he can use the shift function of the lens to move the view horizontally or vertically through the scene and stitch the photos into one image that captures a complete view of the challenging location. He's said that our 24mm (PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED) was career transforming-"I didn't have to use Photoshop to distort images back into correction," was his reasoning-but its 24mm view wasn't quite wide enough for all his needs. ![]() Graham Hobart has had a lot of experience with NIKKOR PC lenses. "Often the goal of landscape photography is simple: get everything in focus." Ultimately what Adam is looking for is what most photographers want: photos that capture what they saw. For most landscape shots I'm using f/11 or so because I'll get greater depth of field on either side of the focal plane, and tilting alone may not get the whole scene in focus depending on how close something is to the lens." But by tilting in landscape photography you can get more of the scene in focus, and you can use a smaller f/number if you need more light or want to control the exposure water motion. "People often think of the tilting as creating a dramatic effect by throwing something out of focus, or producing a sort of miniature effect where you're shooting above something and you throw everything out of focus except some people or objects in the scene-the miniature village look. It's a way of doing a panorama without having to move the camera itself."Īdam also uses the 19mm's tilt function. "I can shift to the left or right, or up and down, in increments. He sometimes uses the shift to create horizontal or vertical panoramas. "So I can compose a scene using the shift instead of tilting the camera forward, and all the trees and mountains stay straight." ![]() But with a tilt/shift lens, he can keep the camera perfectly level and shift the lens up or down. ![]()
