Nikon 24mm-f-35D-PC-E-Nikkor – page 2

2. Major features

This is a retrofocus-type perspective control (PC) lens that

lets you emphasize or correct near and far perspective, or

control depth of field. It also lets you correct distortion

En

caused by the camera angle. Moreover, you can use the

lens’ tilt and shift mechanism to achieve focus of the entire

subject plane when it is not parallel to the camera.

• This lens features automatic aperture control. When it is

mounted on a Nikon D4, D3-Series, Df, D800-Series,

D700, D610, D600, D300-Series, D90, D7100, D7000,

D5300, D5200, D5100, D5000, D3200, D3100 or D3000

camera, the user can use all exposure modes to take

images without operating the aperture stop-down button.

• More accurate exposure control is possible when this is

mounted on a Nikon camera with 3D Color Matrix

Metering capability, because subject distance information

is transferred from the lens to the camera body (without

tilting and/or shifting) (with maximum aperture while

mounted on cameras).

• The use of three aspherical and three ED (extra-low

dispersion) lens elements ensures sharp pictures virtually

free of color fringing. Also, by utilizing a 9-blade

diaphragm that produces a nearly circular aperture, out-

of-focus images in front of or behind the subject are

rendered as pleasing blurs.

• The Nano Crystal Coat deposited on some of the lens

elements ensures that fine, clear images can be

reproduced under various shooting conditions, from the

sunny outdoors to spotlighted interior scenes.

• A total of two SB-R200 Wireless Remote Speedlights can

be attached to the front of the lens*.

* When attaching an SB-R200, tighten the shift lock

release knob. Failure to do so may cause the lens to shift

down under the weight of the SB-R200. Tilting and/or

shifting the lens while the SB-R200 is attached is not

recommended.

21

Note on the shift and tilt lock-release knobs

The lens does not lock completely by turning the shift

and tilt lock-release knobs. This is not a malfunction.

Turning the shift and tilt lock-release knobs too tightly

En

to lock the lens or forcibly shifting/tilting the lens when

it is locked can damage it.

• The lens aperture can be stopped down from maximum

aperture to a selected aperture by pressing the aperture

stop-down button. Pressing the button again fully opens

the aperture. Whether the aperture is stopped down or

not, check the camera viewfinder, or check the

diaphragm from the front of the lens.

• Even at maximum aperture after canceling the aperture

stop-down, the preset aperture value is displayed on the

camera body.

• When using the D4, D3-Series, Df, D800-Series, D700, D610,

D600, D300-Series, D90, D7100, D7000, D5300, D5200,

D5100, D5000, D3200, D3100 or D3000 camera, the

aperture is stopped down to a selected aperture

automatically by pressing the shutter release button, even

when the aperture is fully open (maximum aperture) before

shooting. When the lens power or the camera is turned off

(including using auto meter off function) after stopping

down the lens aperture by pressing the aperture stopdown

button, the aperture stop-down is cancelled and the

diaphragm blades fully open to the maximum

aperture.

24

 Important

• When the lens is mounted to a camera other than the D4

or D3-Series, shift, tilt and/or revolve the lens with care.

Failure to do so, may result in the lens scratching the

En

camera body.

• This lens is a manual focus lens, and autofocus is not

possible even when the camera's focus mode is set to

AF mode.

•

Use of tilt/shift function can cause some vignetting or slight

color change. (Vignetting is the darkening of the corners

around the image.)

• When mounted on Nikon DX format digital SLR cameras,

such as the D300-Series and D7000, the lens’ picture

angle becomes 61° and its 35 mm equivalent focal length

is approx. 36 mm.

• Be careful not to soil or damage the CPU contacts.

• If the lens mount rubber gasket is damaged, be sure to

visit your nearest Nikon authorized dealer or service

center for repair.

• In low temperatures, new or fully charged batteries

should be used in the camera.

4. Mounting lens

a

Set the shift amount and tilt amount to 0 by rotating the

shift and tilt knobs (Fig. 2).

Note: Avoid attaching/detaching the lens to/from the

camera while using tilt, shift and/or revolving, and

without locking each knob. Failure to do so can

lead to you pinching your fingers between the lens

and the camera body, or the lens scratching the

camera body.

Fig. 2

25

•

When using the Nikon D4, D3-Series, Df, D800-Series,

D700, D610, D600, D300-Series, D90, D7100, D7000,

D5300, D5200, D5100, D5000, D3200, D3100 or D3000

camera, you can take a picture without operating the

En

aperture stop-down button (the aperture can be stopped

down to a selected aperture automatically by pressing the

shutter release button without pressing the aperture stop-

down button). Alternatively, the aperture stop-down button

can be used.

• While using tilting and/or shifting, the camera’s

electronic range finder cannot be used to confirm

correct focusing. Focus should be confirmed by checking

the image in the camera's viewfinder.

•

When you change the degree of tilt and/or shift after

focusing the subject will become out of focus.

Infrared compensation

For photography using infrared film, attach a red (R60)

filter to the lens and compensate the focus manually.

First, focus on the subject manually. Rotate the focus

ring to realign the desired distance scale number

(“0.5 m” in fig. 11) to

(“8” on the depth of field

scale in fig. 11) to compensate the focus. Attach an

R60 filter for infrared photography.

9. Depth of field

Depth of field scale

• Approximate depth of field can

Distance index

be determined by checking the

depth of field scale.

• Using the aperture stop-down

button of the lens or the camera’s

depth-of-field preview (stop-down)

button (with the D4, D3-Series, Df,

D800-Series, D700, D610, D600,

D300-Series, D90, D7100 or

D7000 camera), the depth of field

can be observed while looking

Fig. 11

through the camera viewfinder.

32

• For more information, see p. 234.

Note: When the lens is tilted, neither the depth of field

scale nor the distance scale can be used. (Both scales

can be used when the lens is shifted only.)

10. Taking flash pictures using cameras with

a built-in flash

To prevent vignetting, do not use a lens hood, and take

images referring to the shooting distance below.

Note: The following limitations are only for shooting

without tilt and/or shift. When using the camera’s

built-in flash for tilt/shift shooting, vignetting will be

greater than shooting without tilt/shift. For tilt/shift

shooting, use of camera's built-in flash is not

recommended.

than type B or E, “Other screen” must be selected even

when the required compensation value is “0” (no

compensation required). For F5 cameras, compensate

using Custom Setting #18 on the camera body. For

F4-Series cameras, compensate using the Exposure

Compensation Dial for the focusing screen.

See user’s manual of the camera body for more details.

Blank box means not applicable. Since type M screen can be

used for both macrophotography at a magnification ratio of 1:1

or above and for photomicrography, it has different applications

than other screens.

34

Note:

• For F5 cameras, only EC-B, EC-E, B, E, J, A, L focusing

screens are usable in Matrix Metering.

• When using the B and E focusing screens in cameras

other than those listed above, refer to the columns for

En

the B and E screens.

12. Lens care

• When the lens is not in use, set the tilt and shift amount

to “0.” The lens has many moving parts and can be easily

soiled by dust, dirt or water drip.

• Clean the lens surfaces with a blower brush. To remove

dirt and smudges, use a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens

tissue moistened with ethanol (alcohol) or lens cleaner.

Wipe in a circular motion from center to outer edge,

taking care not to leave traces or touch other parts of the

lens.

• Never use thinner or benzene to clean the lens as this

might damage it, result in a fire, or cause health

problems.

• To protect the front lens element, an NC filter is

recommended at all times. A lens hood also helps protect

the front of the lens.

• When storing the lens in its lens case, attach both front

and rear caps.

• When the lens will not be used for a long time, store it in

a cool, dry place to prevent mold. Also store the lens

away from direct sunlight or chemicals such as camphor

or naphthalene.

• Do not get water on the lens or drop it in water as this

will cause it to rust and malfunction.

• Reinforced plastic is used for certain parts of the lens. To

avoid damage, never leave the lens in an excessively hot

place.

2. Wichtige Ausstattungsmerkmale

Das Retrofokus-Objektiv dient sowohl der Perspektivekorrektur (PC)

als auch der Steuerung der Schärfentiefe. So gestattet es zum

Beispiel die Ausschaltung perspektivischer Verzerrung und die

Scharfabbildung diagonal durchs Bild laufender Strukturen.

•

Das Objektiv ist mit einer automatischen Blendensteuerung

ausgestattet. Wird es an einem Kameramodell Nikon D4, D3-Serie,

Df, D800-Serie, D700, D610, D600, D300-Serie, D90, D7100,

De

D7000, D5300, D5200, D5100, D5000, D3200, D3100 oder

D3000 angebracht, können Sie sämtliche Belichtungssteuerungen

ohne Betätigung der Abblenddtaste verwenden.

• Das Objektiv überträgt die eingestellte Entfernung an die Kamera

und ermöglicht so eine präzisere Belichtungssteuerung (3D-

Matrixmessung), ohne Schwenken bzw. Drehen bei maximaler

Lichtstärke und wenn es an der Kamera angesetzt ist).

• Der Einsatz dreier asphärischer und dreier ED-Linsen (mit

besonders geringer Dispersion) gewährleistet scharfe, nahezu

farbsaumfreie Bilder. Neun Blendenlamellen sorgen für eine

nahezu kreisrunde Blendenöffnung, sodass außerhalb des

Schärfenbereichs vor und hinter dem Motiv liegende Elemente in

ansprechende Unschärfe getaucht werden.

• Die Nanokristallvergütung einiger Linsen sorgt für klare Bilder in

den unterschiedlichsten Aufnahmesituationen, von

Außenaufnahmen bei hellem Sonnenschein bis hin zu

Innenaufnahmen bei grellem Scheinwerferlicht.

• An der Vorderseite des Objektivs können bis zu zwei Slave-

Blitzgeräte vom Typ SB-R200 angebracht werden*.

* Beim Anbringen eines SB-R200 müssen Sie die Klemmschraube

für die Dezentrierbewegung anziehen. Ansonsten kann das

Objektiv sich aufgrund des Gewichts des SB-R200 nach unten

verschieben. Es ist nicht empfehlenswert, das Objektiv zu

verschwenken und/oder verschieben, wenn das SB-R200

angebracht ist.

Hinweis zu den Dezentrier- und Verschwenkungsköpfen

Das Objektiv wird von den Dezentrier- und

Verschwenkungsköpfen nicht vollständig verriegelt. Dies ist keine

Fehlfunktion. Ein zu kräftiges Festziehen der Knöpfe oder das

gewaltsame Dezentrieren/Verschwenken bei verriegeltem Objektiv

können das Objektiv beschädigen.
