Product Description
The PC-E Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/2.8D Perspective Control (PC) lens corrects linear distortion in order to better replicate images assen by the human eye, including straightening the converging lines of rectilinear objects such as buildings, while also introducing welcome command over depth-of-field. Their versatility makes these 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 fo

sweet lens
By Kerry Pierce
The lens is very sharp at all apertures. It works very well for portraits with good bokeh (nice out of focus areas and transition, close-ups and of course anything that requires tilt/shift capability.I use it on both the Nikon d300 and d700 bodies and am very pleased with the images that it produces. The lens is smooth and easily worked for all operations and the manual focus is smooth and precise.Unlike the previous reviewer, I don't have a big problem with the tilt/shift configuration. It works fine the way it is, for the vast majority of applications. I don't disagree that it would be nice to be able to easily switch the alignment back and forth, but I don't think that is a big deal.

By Busy Executive
I do a fair bit of macro photography, and lately this lens has become my favorite.I tend to be "old school" and for a long time, my setup included an old bellows system with the Nikon 60mm macro. Honestly, I didn't use the bellows so much to get more magnification - it was all about having the tilts and shifts so I could choose exactly what parts of the image stayed in focus. Depth of field is so minimal close up, I can't see how you do without tilts and shifts to get reasonable emphasis on your subject. Of course, the drawback is that a bellows becomes a fairly cumbersome thing to work with. It's all manual (exposure, focus, etc) and often you only have a dim image in the viewfinder to work with. Lots of trial and error to get the right settings - but when you do, it's a wonderful thing.Enter the 85mm 2.8 PC-E and that whole topic changes.Now, I have something that gives me most of the capability of my bellows setup, but in a much faster and more integrated way. On my D3 or D300, exposure is all automatic - I've even used Nikon's remote flash setups and the exposure comes out spot-on every time. The focus is still manual, but it seems much, much easier than what I used to do. And being a slightly longer focal length, it puts me just a bit further from the subject, making lighting and so on easier. All in all, a big productivity gain, and a vast improvement in the "keepers to junk" ratio.As for the image quality, I'd rate it as slightly better than the 60mm 2.8 macro for close-up work (and this is saying a lot - the 60mm is an awesome lens!). Colors seem a bit more vivid and contrasty, and sharpness is about the same.For other than close-up work, this is also a wonderful lens, especially since you have the tilt and shift capability to work with. I sometimes use subtle bits of tilt and shift to compensate for odd perspectives in portraits and so on, and I get some wonderful results this way. Still, I also have the unbeatable 85 1.4 portrait lens (can't wait to get the new AFS version), and I'd have to say that most of the time, I prefer the 85 1.4 unless I'm after an unusual result. Actually, I like tightly framed portraits, and so my "normal" portrait lens is the 135 DC on my (FX sensor) D3, and the 85mm 1.4 on my D300.For nature, architecture and other outdoor work, I tend to look for wider angle lenses, so I don't get much use from this particular lens. I have the excellent Nikon 24mm tilt lens for these scenarios.Note that this isn't a lens for the casual photographer...you'll be manually focusing, and if you don't know what tilts and shifts are about, you won't get the benefits this lens brings to the table. If you're in this category and want a great 85mm lens, pick up the 85 1.4 (or even the 85 1.8).Overall, like all Nikon pro-level gear, I'd give this lens top ratings, and in the right hands, it can produce wonderful results.

By Meowcat
Little difficult to master, but a great lens. I only wish it were possible to do autofocus. As this is manual focus, it has limited applications, but it's a great portrait lens. I recommend using a smaller aperture to make sure your focus is tack sharp. Almost impossible to use the focusing dot (my camera helps it decide if it's in focus or not) in the dark.
