This is a great lens that I use for portraiture as well as the common "miniaturization" landscapes. Excellent optics, probably the sharpest 24mm I own, and I have the 24-70, 14-24, and 24/1.4. An excellent lens.

Sharp; Great image quality; Good build Quality; Versatile

Cost; No rotation between shift and tilt

The PC-E Nikkor 24mm f/3.5D ED is the most specialised lens we have tested to date. When used as a "simple" ultra-wide lens, it is extremely sharp across the frame, with no vignetting or edge softness to speak of, which is great news for landscape photographers.

Created chiefly for the high-end Nikon D300 and D3, the new 24mm PC (Perspective Control) lens from Nikon can also be used on other Nikon D-SLR cameras, such as the relatively new D60 on which I tested it, albeit with some loss of full automation and functionality.

Recent addition to the range of lens from Nikon is Nikkor PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED , which in itself is the first wide-angle tilt-shift lens. While the company was first to offer a shift lens for a 35mm system camera, its wide-angle Perspective Control lenses lacked tilt functionality until this...

At full shift; this lens vignettes badly

Very sharp lens, corner to corner. I am just getting use to PC-E lenses, so there is a learning curve. I have been able to use the lens in both landscape and architecture and the shift function has been very useful. I am also still on a learning curve to remember this is a manual focus lens.

Consistent Output; Durable; Strong Construction

Pros: Strong Construction, Durable, Consistent Output Cons: Other thoughts: Very sharp lens, corner to corner. I am just getting use to PC-E lenses, so there is a learning curve. I have been able to use the lens in both landscape and architecture and the shift function has been very useful.

In this review Gary Wolstenholme takes a look at a highly specialised wideangle lens allowing control of perspective and the focal plane via tilt and shift movements.

Superb sharpness; Excellent controls; Great build quality

Quality at extremes of the imaging circle at wide apertures; Tensioning controls sometimes hard to access on my D700

While I hope to create a full Nikon 24mm f/3.5D PC-E Lens, my first priority is to include results from this lens in the lens comparison tools available on the site. This page currently exists because it is required by the database and content management systems for me to post information and...

Well worth the money

Plenty features and options on this lens, and can do certain things that applications like Photoshop cannot; Great look and design, and its a very reliable product.

Big and pretty heavy
