Description from the seller
This beautiful lens has been tested and found to be working. It is in nearly new condition.
Includes:
- Nikon 35mm f/2.8 Focus-shift
Nikon has released a very well-known perspective-correcting version of this lens: the PC-Nikkor 35mm f/2.8. If you use the physical shift function to correct converging lines in architecture, it changes how you should focus: First focus, then shift. It is an optical law with these manual shift lenses that sharpness can degrade as you move the lens along its axis up or sideways. The correct sequence is: Put the lens in the neutral position (0 mm shift). Precisely focus on your subject. Then apply the desired "Shift" via the dial. Preset diaphragm: Because this lens does not have an automatic diaphragm coupling with the camera, it uses a preset ring. You manually focus with the aperture wide open at f/2.8, and just before taking the shot rotate the ring down to the chosen value (for example f/8 or f/11) to obtain sufficient depth of field and mask any small focus deviations.
