NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED PC-E Micro Lenses
Recently Nikon, Inc. launched its new PC-E Micro NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED and PC-E Micro NIKKOR 85mm f/2.8D lenses. With these expanded series of lenses photographers now can effectively correct perspective and/or depth-of-field to push creative boundaries. These versatile lenses can be used for a variety of purposes like photographing architecture, nature, interiors and still-life -- especially product photography.
Edward Fasano, general manager for marketing, SLR System Products at Nikon, Inc. said, "The introduction of the wide-angle 24mm Perspective Control lens answered a demand from photographers. Specific shooting disciplines demand precise image control that only a specialized lens of this design can provide. We are pleased to now add the 45mm and 85mm Micro PC-E lenses, offering photographers an expanded number of PC focal lengths from which to choose and resolve complex photographic challenges."
Features of the NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED PC-E Micro Lenses are:
- Ability to avoid unwanted reflections in an image
- Additional creative control over depth-of-field
- Up to +/- 11.5mm shift for perspective control and +/- 8.5-degree tilt control for creative focus
- A combined standard-to-medium telephoto range coupled with dramatically expansive depth-of-field
- A 1:2 reproduction ratio
- Electronically controlled aperture by a rounded nine-blade electromagnetic diaphragm
The NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED PC-E Micro Lenses provide high-quality optics and durable design. As the NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED lens contains an Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass element in it, so it provides superior sharpness and color fidelity by effectively minimizing chromatic aberration. The PC-E Micro 85mm f/2.8 D lens too offers a medium-telephoto angle of view and increased camera-to-subject working distance that is preferable in many applications. So, both these lenses are perfect for superior color reproduction as well as for eliminating any remaining instances of ghosting and flare. By August, the NIKKOR 45mm and 85mm f/2.8D ED PC-E Micro Lenses will be available in all the Nikon authorized dealers in the U.S. at a selling price of $1,799.95 and $1,739.95, respectively.
