Nikon PC-E Micro NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED Lens
Nikon, Inc. has introduced a new PC-E Micro NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED lens. Perspective Control (PC) lenses correct linear distortion in order to better replicate images as seen by the human eye, including straightening the converging lines of rectilinear objects such as buildings, while also allowing control over depth-of-field. PC-E lenses are used for applications that include photographing architecture, nature, interiors, still-life, and product photography.
As with other NIKKOR-E lenses, the PC-E Micro NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED incorporate a rounded nine-blade electromagnetic diaphragm that provides auto aperture control when used with Nikon SLRs that feature an electronically controlled aperture, including the D3, D300 and newly announced D700 camera.
