Tilt/Shift lenses are traditionally used for architectural photography, but they have seen a recent surge in popularity as photographers discover their versatility and use them for creating amazing "miniature" stop-motion videos. This lens allows the photographer to change the plane of focus in dramatic ways to make exciting compositions that draw in the viewer's eye. Nikon has updated their lineup recently, and this wide-angle version gives you a lot of versatility with its wide field of view. If you haven't tried tilt/shift before, you owe it to yourself to rent this lens and see the amazing results you can get. Remember, all tilt/shift lenses are manual focus.

Key Technical features:

• This ultra-wide Perspective Control (PC) lens features tilt, shift and rotation capability, which is exceptionally well-suited for architectural and landscape photography.

• Shift range: plus/minus 11.5mm. Tilt range: plus/minus 8.5 degrees. Benefit to you: precise control of T/S effects.

• Revolving capability of plus or minus 90-degrees, in 30-degree increments, for versatile tilt/shift shooting effects.

• Three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements minimize chromatic aberration, offering superior sharpness and color.

• Three aspherical elements nearly eliminate coma and other types of lens aberration, even at the widest aperture.

• You can trust Nikon's Nano Crystal Coat to virtually eliminate internal reflections, which is an especially large benefit to digital shooters.

• Nikon Super Integrated Coating (SIC) offers superior color performance and substantially reduced ghosting and flare for even greater image clarity.

• Rounded 9-blade diaphragm for more natural appearance of out-of-focus image elements. In popular photographic parlance, this creates nice "Bokeh".
