FOREWORD
The PC-Nikkor 35mm f/2.8 is a retrofocus-type
perspective control (PC) lens with an optical
construction of 7 elements in 7 groups. The
im age circle of th is lens is wider than regular
35mm wideangle lenses providing a coveri ng
angle of 78° ; thus image quality is insured even
when the lens is shifted. The lens barrel can be
shifted up to 11
mm
off-axis and rotated 360
0
with click-stops every 30
0
for complete image
control. The PC-Ni kkor is ideally suited for
architectural and commercial photography,
enabling the photographer to properly frame
the subject without tilting or angling the
camera- and the photographer has the added
convenience of thru-the-lens viewing and meter-
ing for greater ease of operation. It is also
possible to take panoramic shots .
If used with a Nikon camera having inter-
changeable focusing screens, the Type E or E2
with its etched horizontal and vertical I ines is
-recommended. All aberrations have been well
corrected, especially coma and curvature of
field , so that image quality is truly outstanding.
