Nikon PC-E Micro NIKKOR 85mm f-2.8D: 2. Major features

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 caused by the camera angle.

En

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 D3, D700, D300 or D90 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 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.

• The closest focusing distance possible is 0.39 m (1.3 ft).

• 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.

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 to lock the lens or forcibly

shifting/tilting the lens when it is locked can damage it.
