Nikon PC-E Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/2.8D ED Lens
Nikon, Inc. has introduced a new PC-E Micro NIKKOR 85mm 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. As a medium telephoto lens, the PC-E Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/2.8D ED can be used for applications that include photographing architecture, nature, interiors, and portraits.
As with other NIKKOR-E lenses, the PC-E Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/2.8D ED incorporates 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.
