Description:
The Nikon PC-E Nikkor 24mm f/3.5D ED Lens is an ultra-wide lens with special "Perspective Control" tilt and shift functions, making it ideal for architectural and nature photography. Using tilt and shift correction will help obtain a natural-looking perspective in a distortion-free architectural image. The PC-E 24mm lens is compatible with all digital and 35mm film SLR cameras (in manual mode). With the latest digital cameras (i.e. D3, D700 & D300, and later models), auto-aperture control is possible directly from the camera itself.

Pros:	Sharp, Great image quality, Good build Quality, Versatile
Cons:	Cost, No rotation between shift and tilt

This is a great lens that I use for portraiture as well as the common "miniaturization" landscapes. Excellent optics, probably the sharpest 24mm I own, and I have the 24-70, 14-24, and 24/1.4.

An excellent lens.

However, I wish the tilt and the shift mechanisms could be rotated independently of each other (like the superrotator lenses). This isn't causing me too much problems, but it would be nice to have it on there, esp for a $2k lens.
