Nikon PC NIKKOR 20065 19mm
The 19mm focal length combined with +/- 12mm shift and +/- 7.5° tilt provides extreme perspective control on full-frame F-mount bodies, correcting distortion in-camera that software cannot replicate. Its complex 17-element optical design, featuring three ED and two aspherical elements with Nano Crystal Coat, delivers edge-to-edge sharpness even at maximum movements. This manual-focus lens is best for architectural photographers who require precise vertical line correction and critical sharpness across the entire frame.
