Nikon PC Nikkor 19mm f/4 E ED tilt-shift

Nikon announced its new PC Nikkor 19mm F4E ED tilt/shift lens. This ultra-wide lens offers a 97° angle of view and is capable of ±12mm shift and ±7.5° tilt. Unlike previous PC-E models, this model can rotate the lens independently of the lens shift mechanism, allowing tilt to be adjusted in parallel or parallel to the tilt. The lens has 3 ED and 2 aspherical elements, plus a nano crystal coating.

Nikon takes flexible composition to a new level with the world's first FX-size lens equipped with perspective correction (PC) using two PC rotation mechanisms. Ideal for architectural, art and landscape photography, the PC NIKKOR 19mm f/4E ED is designed for photographers who appreciate a sense of space. The angle of view and unique tilt, shift and two-plane rotation features of this hand-held lens provide photographers with the perfect starting point for capturing images. Tilt and shift functions can be enabled separately or together to mimic the movements of a large-format camera. Photographers can precisely control the focal plane of the lens and easily create images without convergence. They can also tilt the lens and take landscape images with both foreground and background sharpness without having to reduce the aperture as with conventional lenses. The 19mm angle of view is ideal for capturing large buildings and spaces, and the unique optical design reduces distortion typical of wide-angle lenses, even at the edges of the image.

SUMMARY OF MAIN FEATURES

19 mm ultra-wide angle of view The 19 mm angle of view allows photographers to immortalise the subject in its correct proportions or emphasise structure and reduce foreground. Outstanding precision: legendary NIKKOR quality The two aspherical lens elements significantly reduce comma errors and other types of aberrations. Three ultra-low dispersion glass elements reduce axial colour aberration to a minimum. Nikon's nanocrystal coating virtually eliminates ghosting and reflections over the entire image area, even when shooting backlit. Two-level PC rotation: the perfect starting point for taking pictures Tilt and shift functions can be enabled separately or together. Tilt can be rotated independently up to 90° in either direction, and the entire lens can also be rotated 90°. Smooth use: excellent design, excellent ergonomics A robust transmission mechanism ensures smooth operation. The compact lens weighs around 885 g. It uses Nikon's fluorine coating, which effectively repels water, dust and dirt without compromising image quality.
