Nikon PC-E NIKKOR 85mm F2.8D Micro Lens

The Nikon PC-E 85MM F2.8D Micro Lens aperture of f/2.8 can be preset by using aperture ring and aperture stop-down button. This lens’ tilt/shift mechanism provides extraordinary control over the relationship between the optical axis of the lens and the image plane, thereby enabling Perspective Control. Close-Range Correction (CRC) system is one of Nikon's most important focusing innovations of PC-E 45mm F2.8D ED providing greater picture value at close focusing distances and increases the focusing range up to focal length of 85mm. The medium focal length of Nikon’s three perspective control (tilt-shift) lenses, the PC-E Micro NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED brings a standard angle of view plus a 1:2 reproduction ratio perfect for product or catalog photography and many other commercial applications. With its Nano Crystal Coat, ghosting and flare are effectively reduced as well with internal lens element reflections. ED glass elements deliver high-resolution images and even more vivid image quality. This lens is dust and moisture-resistant for reliable use even in harsh shooting situations. It is compatible with APS-C and Full Frame Sensor DSLR Cameras.
