Summary of TIPA comments on the PC NIKKOR 19mm f/4E ED for the Best Professional Lens award:
PC NIKKOR 19mm f/4E ED
Pros shooting architecture and in tight indoor spaces will appreciate the quality and features of this tilt-shift, full-frame perspective control lens. It incorporates three ED glass, and two aspherical lens elements and has Nano Crystal and Super Integrated coatings. It tilts +/-7.5 degrees and shifts +/-12 mm with rotation up to 90 degrees.
The lens offers maximum perspective control, which allows users to freely set the way shift and tilt relate to one another from parallel to perpendicular. Further, the shift mechanism can eliminate the need for lock operation. The lens has a water-, dust-, dirt- and grease-repellent fluorine coating on the front and rear elements, an electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism and a minimum aperture of f/32.
