24mm · f/3.5
The Nikon PC-E Nikkor 24mm f/3.5D ED is a specialized tilt-shift lens praised for excellent sharpness and contrast, even when tilted or shifted. It is solidly built with metal and glass, but prone to ghosting when shooting into the sun. Handling requires familiarity with view camera movements; the lens is manual focus and the aperture ring is easily moved. It suits architectural, landscape, and macro/product photographers who need perspective control or extended depth of field.
