The details

At a glance: Manual-focus 24mm tilt-shift perspective-control lens for Nikon F full-frame - built for architecture and landscapes.

About this lens

Introduced in 2008, the PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED is a manual-focus wide-angle perspective-control (tilt-shift) lens for Nikon F full-frame bodies. Its independent tilt and shift movements let you correct converging verticals and control the plane of focus, making it a specialist tool for architecture, interiors and landscapes.

Build & handling

Type Perspective Control - tilt and shift, manual focus
Tilt/shift range Tilt +/-8.5 degrees, shift +/-11.5mm, each movement rotates +/-90 degrees
Minimum focus distance 0.21m
Filter thread 77mm
Weight 730g

Works with

  • Nikon F-mount FX (full-frame) DSLRs; also mounts on Nikon DX bodies with a narrower equivalent field of view of roughly 36mm
  • Uses an electromagnetic diaphragm, so full automatic aperture control requires a compatible Nikon body - older or entry-level cameras may offer limited electronic aperture control
  • Manual focus only on every body
  • Usable on Nikon Z mirrorless cameras via the FTZ / FTZ II adapter, with manual focus and manual operation

Best for

This lens is aimed at photographers who need precise control over perspective and focus - primarily architecture, interior, landscape and product shooters who want to keep verticals straight and manage the plane of sharpness creatively. It is manual focus only, so you set focus by hand, and it uses Nikon's electromagnetic 'E' aperture mechanism (the 'E' in PC-E), which needs a compatible Nikon body for automatic aperture control; on some older or entry-level cameras aperture operation can be limited. With generous tilt, shift and rotation movements, it rewards a deliberate, tripod-based approach.

Frequently asked questions

What is a tilt-shift lens used for?

Shift movements keep vertical lines parallel, so buildings do not appear to lean back, while tilt movements alter the plane of focus to hold a whole scene sharp or create selective focus. Together they make it a favourite for architecture, interiors, landscapes and product photography.

Does it autofocus?

No. It is a manual-focus lens, so you focus by hand using the focus ring. This suits the slow, considered, tripod-based shooting the lens is designed for.

Will it control the aperture on my camera?

The PC-E design uses an electromagnetic diaphragm, so full automatic aperture control needs a compatible Nikon body. On some older or entry-level cameras aperture control can be limited, so check compatibility for your specific model.

  • A 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.
