Questions & Answers

Shopper : I wasn't clear on the type of photography I do. I'm buying a D800E and wanted to know for landscape photography what two lenses would you recommend. I'm leaning towards a 24mm PC lens but not sure what the second lens might be?QUINTON W : Might refer the question to Nikon usa Sent from my U.S. Cellular® smartphoneROBERT O : The answer to your question depends on what lenses you may already have. The D800 36 MB sensor, a sharp lens, and the "live view" focusing allows you to take images with amazing detail. It is a shame to waste that potential with average lenses. The 24 mm PC is an expensive lens so you can afford good lenses. If you don't have general purpose lenses I recommend the Nikkor f2.8 24 to 70mm and the f 2.8 70 to 200mm. That gives you everything from wide angle to the ability to isolate interesting parts of a larger scene. If you have these, then consider a PC lens, but understand fully when a PC lens is useful. If you encounter a situation where a PC lens helps, it is invaluable. If you don't encounter these situations, it is just another 24mm lens.CHARLES L : I own two lenses that I use for landscape photography with my D800. My favorite is the Nikkor 17-35 F2.8. It does not have VR but the edge to edge sharpness is great. The lens is built like a tank. It is a bit heavy but nicely balanced. I shot some excellent evening photos at 20 mm capturing the Orion constellation just as it began to rise in the East. I have used it for family gatherings and parties where I was in close quarters. My second lens is the Nikkor 28-300 F3.5. It has the reach that I want. I've used it for wildlife and an airshow. I wanted a decent all purpose lens. This filled my requirement without too much of an overlap on my 17-35 mm lens.DENNIS M : I use a 24-105mm, which only goes down to F4. It is a great all around lense that i frequently use for landscape shots. There is another lense that is 28-300 that mifgt also be one to look at especially if you have some wildlife opportunities.DON V : The 24mm PC is used for keeping architectural subjects lines parallel. I think it would be a bad choice for landscapes, as it has enormous distortion. And stitching in PS trumps trying to join two images taken with the PC. Unless you're only considering primes, I would opt for a 24-70mm, and possibly the 12-24mm. But I think a 70-200mm would be a better choice, as landscapes can be compressed with a moderate telephoto for a different effect. Careful with that 800E. Brick buildings can exhibit moire effect, even with a low-pass filter-equipped camera. But the gains in sharpness with the 800E have been shown to be genuine. Good luck, and hope this helps with your decision.SUNIL G : PC lenses are for a very specific purpose - correcting perspective for architectural photography where there are plenty of straight lines. you won't encounter a lot of straight lines in landscape photography. For landscape you probably want a good quality wide angle lens. I'm not sure exactly what you want to do but something like the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 lens - the price is right and quality is outstanding. It's a super wide zoom so a decent wide-normal zoom like the Nikon 16-35mm f/4 VR may go well with it. I'm assuming that you want wide scapes and both these lenses can give you amazing perspectives. Hope that helps
Shopper : Im close to buying a Nikon D800E. If i could only start with two lenses, which two would you recommend?SIMON M : Sorry, I don't own this lense, but the NIkon D800 is a fantastic camera, your decision on lense depends on what kind of photography you are interest in, so may be someone who own that lens can give you better oppinion!KLAUS G : Since the D800 has such a high mega-pixel count, the lenes used should be of the higest quality to obtain the best results. My first two lenses would be a 24-70 f/2.8 and a 70-200 f/2.8 (Nikon and/or Sigma). I'd also consider the new 70-200 f/4.0 from Nikon. Fixed would be 35mm and 85mm f/1.2 of f/1.4. Avoid all Nikon DX rated lenses.WARREN F : It depends on what you are going to photograph. I personally love my 28-300mm VR as a do everything lens if you don't mind the weight. If I'm just going to take some photos around the house or yard of family and friends, then I use a 24-85mm VR because it is so much lighter. You would not be disappointed with the quality of the photos with either lens.THOMAS K : If money is not an issue the answer is simple: Get the 24-70mm 2.8 and the 70-200mm 2.8. These are gorgeous lenses that cover almost every shooting opportunity. If you buy the D800E it doesn't make sense to buy cheap lenses. Depending on what you are primarily shooting you might also consider prime lenses. The image quality will be even better.MORRIS D : I answered this question . if not received let me knowRONALD H : What do you want to photography? I use several different Nikkor lenses. My walk around lens is the very versatile and very good Nikkor 24 - 300. My Nikkor 14 - 24 is an incredible landscape lens. My wildlife lens is the 200-400 f4 with a 1.4x or 2x. Big birds like Eagles I use 70-200 f2.8. Portraits, the 40-70. RonJIANYUAN Z : That will strongly depend on your purpose and budget. Assuming you want to cover landscape, travel and portrait and budget is not a concern, I would recommend the Nikkor 16-35mm F4 VR and the Nikkor 85mm F1.4G. If you don't need super wide, Nikkor 24-70mm F2.8 is another option (I prefer 16-35). If macro shot is a must, pick the Sigma 150mm F2.8 macro OS which is a superb macro lens and performs well for portrait too.HERBERT H : The 24 to 85 mm and the 70 to 200 mm 2.8 are an excellent choice. If the 70-200 is too pricey, just buy one lens, the 24 to 120mm. It is a great lensDAVID S : My personal preference will be 24-70 mm f2.8. Then either 70-200 mm f2.8, 85 mm f1.4 or 17-35 mm f2.8 depends on your interesting subject. Or you can just go for 50 mm f1.4 (much cheaper compare with f2.8 zoom) and 24-70 f2.8.JOHN L : As a professional photographer, I am constantly pulling out 2 lenses from my case: Nikkors 24-120 4.0G ED and the 14-24 2.8G ED.BING D : Definitely the 24-70mm 2.8 zoom lense would be number 1. If you still have the resources after that one, get the 70- 200mm 2.8 zoom. Lots of money ($1,900 & $2,500), but lots of value. These will cover essentially all your needs, unless your'e going to do macro workMARK B : I would recommend the 14-24 2.8 zoom, and the 24-120 f4 zoom. 2 great lenses that will be a very good foundation. With the high resolution of the 800e I would not recommend any of the consumer grade plastic body lenses. You would not be happy. GLEN B : Totally depends on what you photograph ! The Average user: family,landscape,etc. would probably be satisfied with a 50mm f1.8 and a medium range zoom for instance the excellent 24-85mm VR lens. If you were doing architectural/interior work, then a wide-angle zoom like 10-24 might be in order, However, if you're shooting sports then a 70-300mm might fit the bill for most sports.Hope that helps - I have all 4 and am very satisfied.TIM L : Certainly not a $2000 tilt-shift. I would suggest a good portrait lens like the Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D Autofocus, and a good medium to long zoom like the Nikkor 70-300mm f/4-5.6G. You can get the both of them for around $600. p.s. unless you do a lot of architectural photography, don't buy a tilt-shift. That kind of money will buy you some great lenses that are way more versatile.JIMMY W : 16-35mm f4 & 70-200mm f4 zooms & 50mm f1.8KENNETH F : Why the 800E vs 800D? What you photograph plays a major role in what lenses to buy.Stephen L : I would get a 24mm=120mm Nikor Zoom and a 28mm=300mm Nikor Zoom. I do have a 24mm WA f2.8, but with the greatness the D800 & E offer, I would stay with my suggestion I did get both those lenses for my D800.HERBERT H : The 24 to 85 mm and the 70 to 200 mm 2.8 are an excellent choice. If the 70-200 is too pricey, just bye one lens, the 24 to 120mm. Otis a great lensJEFF L : Lens 1: All round one lens solution: AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Zoom Lens Lens 2: Nikon AF-S Zoom Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED AF Lens or similar brand ultra wide angle.ANDREW J : That depends on what kind of pictures you want to take. I have the D800 and really like the 70-200mm 2.8. Excellent combo, but if you are looking to take closeups with a wide angle, not your lens.DAVID C : The Nikon AF S Nikkor 28-300 1:3.5 to 5.6 G is a seriously good all-purpose lens. Then add a 50 mm 1:1.4 lens or a Nikkor wide angle zoom depending on what you like to shoot. There is a 70 to 200 1:2.8 fabulous lens but it is very heavy and I found I needed a tripod much of the time.MORRIS D : The two I bought when I bought the camera and I am very pleased with my results Nikkor24-70 F2.8G and Nikkor 70-200 F4 that just was releasedANDREW R : I would go with the 28-300 zoom (I have this on my d800 99% of the time) and a 50mm prime (1.4 or 1.8 for very low light situations)
Shopper : I read somewhere that the PC lenses used on the D800E lose some of the movements and is difficult to put on the camera?Wayne L : I have both but haven't used the 24 much yet. The lens fits fine on the camera. May be a little harder to put on but just be more careful. The movements work fine, just a little tight to move in some positions, again just takes a little more careful movement. This is a great combination.KIRK Z : I have a D800e and 24,45 and 85 PC lenses. You have to pay attention when mounting them, but it isn't difficult. There may be some vignetting when the 24 is tilted and/or shifted to it's extreme, but I haven't found it objectionable.DAN B : Yes there is some loss of movements o the D800 Just as there was on the D700. The larger pentaprism for the pop up flash gets in the way and will not allow full movement. I don't think this is a huge problem. Hope this helps DanRICARDO F. M : Even though I don't own a D800E I can't see why movements would be affected. This is a manual lens. It works great on a D-700, D-3 and D-3S body all three which I own.PATRICK C : I have used this lens on the D600, D800 and the D3S. It's not that it is difficult to put on the camera, It attaches as easily as any other lens. However, the built-in flash on the 600 and 800 (and any other camera with built-in flash) restrict the use of the control knobs.In fact, annoyingly so. It forces you to turn the lens slightly to the left or right before making adjustment to the tilt and shift features.Once the adjustments are made you then have to turn the lens back to its desired position. With all that said, its is an incredible lens. Personally, I dont use the tilt feature. I purchased it for architectural use and use the shift feature 99% of the time.JAMES S : that is true - any of the bodies with built in flash potentially interfere with the full rotation and/or tilt/shift of the lens. he only body i own that does not have any restrictions is my D3. my D800 and my D300 both suffer the "built in flash" restriction.

This is a specialty lens, but it offers tremdous functionality.

This is the only lens I have ever bought used, but it was in pristine condition. I bought this lens primarily to take one picture, but have found a lot of use for it once I owned it. It is not a "point and shoot lens," but it has been a fun lens to learn to use. My picture of La Sagrada Familia will have to wait until I return to Barcelona, but this lens is very useful in changing the focal point for a landscape shot, and for bringing more into the photograph than my other lenses can. If you invest in a tilt-shift lens, plan to spend some time learning it before you go out to shoot (except for prime shots - it is a great prime lens). I have enjoyed learning a lens that has challenged me. When I return to Barcelona, I will be ready to take my dream shot. I have hundreds of shots of La Familia Sagrada, but none taken with my dream lens as of yet.

nice lens

I got it to correct verticals on buildings. I also use a view camera so I understand what the lens movements do to the image. view camera knowledge is very handy when using this lens. You don't have all of the controls that you have with a view camera, nor do you have range of control that a view camera has. But its a lot easier to set up and it is a very sharp lens. It is also a full manual lens, no auto focus, or auto exposure. I wish that Nikon had a wider PC lens, maybe a 16mm or so

Great for Architecture, Interiors, & Landscape

I definitely have a love/hate relationship with this lens. The love part is great. Very sharp lens, relatively wide range of movements, very solid construction. The CA (chromatic aberrations) are also very well controlled. It just feels significant in your hand as it should be as this is most decidedly a professional lens. Now for the hate part. First off, the knob to adjust the shift of the lens is ok, the locking knob for the same movement is way too small, making it very difficult for me to lock the movement in place. It's actually easy to over tighten this control and consequently strip the locking knob. This actually happened to me and it took Nikon 4 months for them to repair it. They indicated to me that I had actually caused the damage myself - go figure. They finally gave me a new lens and it hasn't given me much trouble so far. That was 5 months ago. Second, when the camera orientation is changed for a vertical shot, it suddenly becomes very easy for the tilt mechanism to slide downwards toward the ground unless FIRMLY locked. Again, over tightening this control could present problems as well. All in all, a very good, solid lens, which definitely requires a tripod and knowledge of view camera movements to get the most out of it. If used as a straight 24mm wide angle lens, it is possible to hand hold this beast of a lens. Contrary to popular belief, this lens works flawlessly on the D700. You just need to be a little cautious when rotating the lens. Still waiting for Nikon to come out with a 16mm or 18mm version of this lens.

incredible lens!

It's been only a few months, but this lens had already become my favorite wide-angle for landscapes and cityscapes in tandem with my D3. The perspective control is allowing me to do things I was not able to previously, not only correcting perspective, but also being able to shoot near-far compositions with good dof at moderate apertures. The combination of low noise @ high ISO on my D3 and moderate aperture allows me to shoot high shutter speed HDR's under less than optimal conditions outdoors (windy!) and still render excellent subject detail. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because the set screws to hold the shift and tilt settings are not large or robust enough to hold the shift and tilt settings under all conditions (walking around etc.). This shouldn't be considering the cost of this lens. Other than that, this is an excellent lens.

Optically Superior - Mechanically Average

I waited a long time before I plunked down the 2k for this lens. I shoot a lot of architectural images and this lens has been on my wish list for quite a while. I have not been disappointed by the wonderful images that it has delivered. I don't mind it being all manual either - it makes me think about what I'm about to do. However, the little tiny thumb-screws used to unlock and tilt/shift the lens are way too small. I'm a big guy with big hands. This is just frustrating to deal with. I would think that Nikon could have come up with a better solution.

24 PCE sharpest wide angle I own

One of the best wide angle lenses I have ever owned. I don't need the tilt at 24mm, and I wish they could relocate the button to unlock the rotation of the lens.

An outstanding lens in every way.

I've owned the 85 PC Micro for several years and have used it in a variety of settings. I recently acquired the 24 PC and it is a stellar performer. Having used 4 X 5 view cameras for almost thirty years it is a pleasure to have similar movements and yet to get instant feedback. I use the lens on both a D700 and a D300S. The lens is sharp with high contrast and the close focus distance enables some unusual landscapes.

Clear, Colorful & Enjoyable

How many times have you purchased a lens and had second thoughts? It has taken me a few years to finally convince myself to buy the Nikon 24mm PC-E. I am very happy with the lens. Using a D700 I read that the lens when rotated will strike the camera body - which it does. However, I just rotate the lens the other direction, placing the larger knob underneath if I need to shift up. Technically this is a fantastic lens and when coupled with a D700 or D3/x your aperture readout is automatic. This is a manual focus lens and requires you to start in the "Default" position to acquire your meter reading before shifting or tilting - It takes just a little practice (retraining yourself). I catch myself having to reset the lens to default sometimes because I forget to get the meter reading first. For those who visit and use your manual settings of your camera you can almost guess the shutter/aperture after seeing the results in your display if you forget; but it is best to get the reading before you do the tilt or shift the lens for your base and go from that. This is a very fun and useful lens, I now realize why it is so sought after by those who shoot landscapes and architect. Level your camera, and shift the lens up (not your camera) to include more sky or down to include more ground, no more tilting your camera and seeing weird converging lines with trees or buildings that fall back from the center. You can also swing the lens left or right to create effects blurring the edges while keeping the center in sharp focus + you can rotate the lens in increments which causes the shift and swing to rotate as well, creating some amazing effects. The lens takes a couple of days to get used to so I spent the entire weekend with this attached to my camera trying to fully explore the new jewel. I mostly do nature photography and have thus far enjoyed the clear, crisp and colorful photos this lens has captured. Some small quirks; The tensioning knobs are kind of small with the shift tensioner requiring more force to lock down the lens once set. The lens does not work "perfectly" with a D700 but I knew that and it just a matter of rotating the lens in the other direction. Pros: Built to Nikon Standards - Solid through and through. Sharp and contrasty. Fairly easy to use - takes a few days to train yourself. Great Results with pleasing images.

architectural fun!

I bought this lens to work on a documentary and architecture project. With it, I've discovered a new way to shoot, showing off the greatness of spaces surrounding me or the subjects. Lately, I've been using it to also shoot objects close up. The shapness is amazing!

Slick lens

I am always happy with the way this lens renders a subject. My only grief is that Nikon doesn't offer the 14mm in a PC lens or I'd buy it too. This lens is contrasty and sharp with great color. It's fun to use and gives great results.

What a great piece of glass

For conditions where you can take the time to set up the tilt and perform the manual focus, this is a fantastic lens. I have found all sorts of applications to take images that could not be achieved with a regular lens. Yes, it's expensive, but wow! It allows me to get images that many photographers cannot achieve, even with software. Using does take some practice. However, there is a neat iPhone app available that can be used to help get the settings in the ball park prior to looking through the lens. That is quite helpful. Do be careful with the rotating release lever, as it is close to the lens release lever!

I dream of architecture

Very little distortion, vignetting and lateral color fringes. Using Lightroom and Photoshop I developed scripts to batch correct the very little distortion their is on this lens ( just about +0.5 ), color fringes and vignetting also are corrected very easily since their is none at center point ( no shift/tilt ). As for tilt and shift movements, when they are applied, I leave a comment on pictures with rise/fall and left/right shift to correct them accordingly. So what's left to say is that this lens is perfect for architecture. The drag and feel of all the adjustments (focus, aperture, rise and tilt) is just perfect. Someone did their homework. Everything is easy to move and it stays put. Controls do feel like they could be bigger, but if you consider replacements are available from Nikon then this is no problem. They did consider the fact that not everybody owns a D3 ( for clearance ).

Long Overdue

This is a great daily workhorse for architectural assignments, and a must have lens. Terrific optics & lots of shift latitude. On a D3X with heavy tripod and pre-released mirror mode the results are stunning. That said, I prefer the old 28 & 35mm pc design, as the mechanical features of this unit slow me down. The shift lock often slips and clunks the adjustment fully to the negative end, which I'd never use anyway. The old design allowed me to rotate either direction from a vertical format for a quick combination adjustment of rise & "shift". I'd buy a Nikkor 18mm or wider pc if offered.

Excellent lens!

This is an excellent lens overall. Used with NX2, it controls fringing very well. The manual isn't very helpful - if you've never used a view camera you may want to do some research on the web to help with tilt/shift adjustments. I'm enjoying the control that I missed when I gave up my view camera. My only gripes are these: *The locks are hard to tighten adequately, especially with the small knobs. (Nikon will put on larger knobs for a fee). *Landscape photographers will want the tilt/shift and the rise/fall on the same plane. Nikon charges $125 to do this. However, the modification is a simple one and can be undone easily; there is a video on the web that shows this step-by-step.

Optically good but mechanically bad

I do a lot of architecture and high end realty. I use the 24mm PC a lot, in all conditions. Although I love the lens for its optical quality, mechanically I have problems with it, especially working outside in the cold in Montreal often with gloves on. The shift and tilt knobs are too small. In the different temp. conditions, the shift lock sometimes jams completely. I now find its difficult to keep the shift locked, it slips sometimes while focusing. I use the tilt mainly with very small increments around zero and its difficult to control accurately. Other manufacturers have done a better job mechanically in-spite of the obviously challenging size constraints.

Excellent glass, sharp and vibrant.

This lens delivers the high quality I expect from Nikon. Very sharp, excellent contrast and color. Negatives: the control knobs are a little difficult to access when the lens is rotated and there are some positions that are not available on my D700 due to the prism position. All in all I prefer the functionality of the old 35 PC and 28 PC that I still use, though the glass is clearly as good or better on these new PCE lenses.

Escape parallel plane prison

As a newbie digital SLR refugee from a past life of large format sheet film landscape work this lens was to me a 'must have' item rather than the latest super zoom or exotic telephoto etc. The build quality has created some controversy, but my sample is free from the unfortunate reports of "tilt creep" that have been cropping up on some of these new Nikon PCE designs. There are however significant design weaknesses: firstly the locking knobs for tilt and shift are tiny, flimsy and poorly placed very hard to operate and generally irritating; second - the axes of tilt and shift are not possible to adjust - ie you cannot use both in the same plane without a factory modification. Nonetheless if you have a need for this lens ( you know who you are) these are not deal breakers - but at the sticker price one would expect more. Clearance of the prism casing is fairly tight on the D700 on full rise. Check your body compatibility before purchase on this issue. On the plus side, the large image circle delivers (the expected) excellent edge/corner sharpness at 2.8 and 4.0 although full shift causes marked corner vignetting on the shifted side - best to keep pano type shifts to +/- 8 0r 9 mm rather than rack it out to 11.5. My impression is that the 24 PCE is considerably sharper at the edges than my 17-35 f 2.8 at the same focal length. SInce the available tilt range is more than is necessary for most typical landscape work, I have not noticed any restrictions on image quality with using this movement. If you are at home with view camera movements whether in the field or studio this lens will reward you with at least partial relief from parallel plane prison while the irritating minor design flaws will probably lead you to a love-hate relationship with the new PCE design but Hey - Life is compromise :)

Clear, Colorful & Enjoyable

How many times have you purchased a lens and had second thoughts? It has taken me a few years to finally convince myself to buy the Nikon 24mm PC-E. I am very happy with the lens.

An outstanding lens in every way.

I've owned the 85 PC Micro for several years and have used it in a variety of settings. I recently acquired the 24 PC and it is a stellar performer. Having used 4 X 5 view cameras for almost thirty years it is a pleasure to have similar movements and yet to get instant feedback. I use the lens on both a D700 and a D300S. The lens is sharp with high contrast and the close focus distance enables some unusual landscapes.

The Nikon 24mm f/3.5D ED PC-E Nikkor is a Ultra-wide, Perspective Control (PC) lens featuring tilt, shift and rotation capability, perfect for architectural and nature photography. Wide shifting range, plus or minus 11.5mm, with a tilting range of plus or minus 8.5 degrees. It has revolving capability of plus or minus 90 degrees for versatile tilt/shift shooting effects.

Three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements offer superior sharpness and color correction by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration.

  • High-performance Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC) offers superior color performance and substantially reduced ghosting and flare
  • Rounded 9-blade diaphragm for more natural appearance of out-of-focus image elements
