#NIKON 24MM TILTSHIFT PC#

Multi-layered, anti-reflective UMC coating on each lens element allow even light transmission, minimizing flares and ghosting. The lens is comprised of 16 elements in 11 groups, including two aspherical lenses and two Enhanced Dispersion (ED) lenses, which reduce aberrations and provide sharp details and accurate color separation. (click-stop adjustment each 30deg.) and the lens mount can rotate left or right by 90deg. The tilt-shift section of the lens rotates left 90deg. and enables parallel shift of the optical axis by +/-12mm. The tilt-shift function on the 24mm f/3.5 lens allows adjustment of the focal plane by an angle of +/-8.5deg. and on an APS-C size sensor has an angle of view of 56.9deg. It is compatible with both digital and film formats with an angle of view of 83.5deg. The optical tilt mechanisms enable precise control of depth of field along with perspective control.

A tilt-shift lens allows the user to control perspective and correct convergence of lines within your frame, useful especially in architecture, landscape and product photography. The Rokinon 24mm f/3.5 Tilt Shift Lens for Nikon is a wide-angle, full-frame lens fitted with the perspective control and tilt-shift functions. With Adorama's return policy, pick one up and test it yourself. I cannot justify the extra $1000+ dollars Nikon charges over their equivalent. I only mention it because it's been on so many other reviews as an issue.įor why you would buy this lens - controlling perspective and depth of field, it's fantastic. The knobs are a little small, as others have complained, but I don't find it an issue. Others indicated this and it's not true for me.

The tilt/shift is smooth and does not 'fall' when I loosen the tightness knob. It takes 100% + peeping to see any difference whatsoever. I am comparing image quality to my Sigma 35 Art, which is an extremely sharp and vibrant lens. But by 5.6, their just as sharp as the center. My testing was very thorough mounted on my D850 I shot about 100 images over alll f-stops. Adorama ordering was very easy (as usual) and the lens arrived in under 2 days.

I seriously considered the Nikon 24 PC lens, but could not justify the cost - IF it compared to this Rokinon. Camera Mount Type : Nikon F Format Compatibility : Nikon FX/35mm Film, Nikon DX Angle of View : 83.5o. I would expect the Nikon to optically outperform the Canon but could be wrong about this.īelow is an recent image from this lens with the D3 which I have printed on my Epson 9600 24x30 118 dpi with superb results.I read tons of reviews on this lens. Canon they both make good gear but have also heard many times their 24 TS is not all that great and I believe it was originally introduced during the heyday of film while the new Nikon as I understand is engineered for digital. I would not want to start a flame war about Nikon vs. You get used to it but Nikon could have done better. What this means is its a bit more difficult to dial in a degree of tilt than I would like. There are some mechanical things I am a bit less thrilled about though, such as the small lock nut for shifts and the tilt mechanism does not have a self braking quality like the older 85 PC lens I own. You could buy a MF or LF system used for the price of this lens. There is some CA (though I have seen worse) seen mostly at extreme shifts so optically I would say its a marvelous lens though very expensive.

If I shift to the max the corners do fall off a bit in sharpness but nowhere near as much as I would have guessed and certainly much less than many primes and other high quality zooms. However I will say this, the lens is extremely good, or at least my copy is.

I do have the Nikon 24mm PCE, but have not compared it to the Canon.
