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.
