Nikon PC-E Micro NIKKOR 85mm f-2.8D:  Revolving

By rotating the tilt knob, the lens is tilted up and down (or right

and left, when the lens is revolved) ±8.5° to the camera body. By

tilting, you can obtain clear focus of the entire subject plane when

it is not parallel to the camera or can focus small areas of the

En

subject which are parallel to the camera. (p. 217)

• After tilting, tighten the tilt lock release knob to fix the lens’

tilt position.

• Note that tilting the lens also changes the viewfinder image.

• Once the lens is tilted, neither the depth-of-field scale nor the

distance scale on the lens barrel can be used.

 Revolving

Fig. 9

This lens can be revolved up to 90° right or left. By revolving the

lens, the shift function can be changed to operate vertically, and

the tilt function can be changed to operate horizontally.

• Before rotating the lens, set the shift and tilt amount to “0” by

rotating the shift and tilt knob.

Note:

When revolving the lens while using tilt and/or shift, be

careful to avoid nipping your fingers between the lens and

the camera body. Failure to lock each knob can also have the

same effect.

• Push the revolving lever and rotate the lens holding the square

parts of the lens.

• Click stops are provided in 30° steps both right and left.

At 30° and 60°, you can rotate the lens without pushing the

revolving lever.
