Best for
A specialised professional tilt-shift lens - tilt for depth-of-field control (Scheimpflug principle), shift for perspective correction. Used extensively in architecture, product and landscape photography where you need to keep vertical lines parallel or extend apparent depth of field. Manual focus; electronic aperture control requires a PC-E-compatible Nikon body.
Frequently asked questions
Does this lens autofocus?
No. PC-E tilt-shift lenses are manual focus only - the complex optical arrangement for tilt and shift movements doesn't accommodate autofocus mechanisms.
What's 'Micro' in the name mean?
'Micro' is Nikon's term for macro - this lens offers up to 1:2 (half life-size) reproduction at its minimum focus distance, making it useful for close-up product and architectural detail work.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
