Nikon 24mm f/3.5D ED PC-E Nikkor

The 24mm PCE on an FX camera is the next best thing to a view camera without the bulk and inconvenience. It works with both FX & DX formats but really is designed for the D3 and D3x. Image control is not quite as versatile as when using a view camera but for most applications, it does a fine job.

Sharp and built well

Expensive and bulky

Most of us are familiar with the tilt & shift look, with many Photoshop tutorials and smartphone camera filters dedicated to replicating the effect... However, you'll never be able to truly recreate the effect better than with a dedicated lens.

As the wide-angle version of Nikon's three perspective control (tilt-shift) lenses, the PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED delivers a dramatic ultra-wide-angle view perfectly suited for architecture, interiors, cityscapes, landscapes and more.

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.
