Product ReviewsNikon PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5 AS D RF N ED Lens

Complex, beautiful and sophisticated Nikkor lens. Be the envy of your friends!

The PC-E (perspective correction) lenses are what Canon calls Tilt-Shift. If you don't know what a Tilt-Shift lens does, you should definitely learn more before plonking down the euros for one. I did a good deal of research before buying this very nice, hefty 24mm lens and still was unable to put its tilting and shifting properties to use. It does take great 24mm manual focus pictures, but I prefer an AF zoom for that purpose. Now it is a great conversation piece!Read full review...

Another stunning piece of Nikkor glass.

On a D3, the Nikkor 24mm f/3.5D ED lens is beautiful. From the moment you handle it, there's no doubt that you are working with a well made lens. The tilt and shift mechanism is smooth and easy to manipulate. The lock on each eliminates creep. When centered, the lens is beautifully sharp, and holds its own as a 24mm f/3.5 prime. When tilted or shifted to the limits, some CA and vignetting enters the scene. This is nothing unexpected when working the extremes of such an unusual lens.

The one caution that every user should heed is to take care when rotating the lens. The release for rotation is right next to the lens release button on the camera body. PAY ATTENTION when rotating the lens, or you will eventually end up with an expensive chunk of glass landing on your feet.Read full review...

A wonderful lens that requires some commitment to use.

This is a lens I have desired for some time. I wanted it primarily to take one important picture, and, yes, I could have rented it, but I wanted to own it. It is an incredibly sharp prime lens, but the tilt/shift capability is amazing. It is not a point and shoot lens, and one pretty much uses a tripod with this one. I am still learning how to really use it, and I will be for some time. It is an expensive lens as well, but isn't everything that is wonderful? If you are considering this lens, watch a couple of you tube videos about it. You will be convinced. I'm very happy with my purchase.Read full review...

Glad I bought the Nikon

The lens works perfectly, has great glass and having the functionality of electronic control in Manual and Aperture mode is well worth the money.

Thrilled with the purchase.

Outstanding!

A great lens for landscapes and architectural photography. This Nikon lens has provided tac sharp images when mounted on a Nikon D77 from the first time I used it.

One of the best choice of 135 tilt/shift lenses

One of the best choice of 135 tilt/shift lenses. Very sharp image, no matter center or corners. Only limitation is the tilt and shift directions is always 90 degree. Hopefully Nikon will release new PC-E lens in Z mount.Read full review...

Outstanding Piece of Glass

The 24mm PC-E is one outstanding hunk of glass.

But, it does require special handling to make your pictures pop. Manual focus, manual shift and tilt. Works best when a tripod is used.

I have used it on DX and FX with great results. On FX it really is more useful as your wide angle lens of choice. Out-performs my 14-24mm as a landscape lens.Read full review...

Something different, and having fun with it!

Adding to my collection of Nikon and Zeiss lenses, this is a totally different piece. I did not pay attention very much until I have had tried from my family member, that was how I convince myself this is what I should have. This lens quite unique and capture sharp images for landscape and cityscape and adding to its feature which I like more because is a macro lens. Soon I have the images I took on my Mac monitor, then I know that was the right choice.Read full review...
