FOREWORD
The PC-Nikkor 35mm f/2.8 is a retrofocus-type
perspective control (PC) lens with an optical
construction of 7 elements in 7 groups. The
image circle of this lens is wider than regular
35mm wideangle lenses providing a covering
angle of 78°; thus image quality is insured even
when the lens is shifted. The lens barrel can be
shifted up to 11mm off-axis and rotated 360°
with click-stops every 30° for complete image
control. The PC-Nikkor is ideally suited for
architectural and commercial photography,
enabling the photographer to properly frame
the subject without tilting or angling the
camera—and the photographer has the added
convenience of thru-the-lens viewing and meter
ing for greater ease of operation. It is also
possible to take panoramic shots.
If used with a Nikon camera having inter
changeable focusing screens, the Type E or E2
with its etched horizontal and vertical lines is
recommended. All aberrations have been well
corrected, especially coma and curvature of
field, so that image quality is truly outstanding.
