Nikon PC-E NIKKOR 45mm F2.8D ED Lens

Not only having a large aperture of f/2.8 and focal length of 45mm, 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. 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. 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.

And since it’s a Nikon, you can expect the highest standard of lens design and durabliity for years of consistent performance.

Nano Crystal Coat
An anti-reflective coating developed by Nikon that virtually eliminates internal lens element reflections across a wide range of wavelengths.

ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass
An optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.

CRC (Close Range Correction) System
The Close-Range Correction (CRC) system is one of Nikon's most important focusing innovations, for it provides superior picture quality at close focusing distances and increases the focusing range.
