Q: 1. No hood available from Nikon, is one not needed? How bad is glare and reduced contrast when key light is in front/side of camera? Note front glass bulbs out. Nano coating can only do so much, no? Any success in using flags in lieu of a hood? Or is lack of a hood not a concern with this lens?

A: There is a good reason why there are no hoods for very wide lenses; to wit, a hood that actually protects the lens from flare is also visible in the frame.My rule of thumb to make sure no light is flaring or causing ghosts on my lens is this: From moderately wide to tele lens length, I use lens hoods, or matte boxes or adjustable sunshades on the camera to block the spurious light. However, on very wide lenses, the flare has to be flagged at the light source that is causing the problem. Even outside and it is the sun hitting the lens, use a grip flag on a stand to stop the direct light of the sun. Do not have such equipment? Then have a friend hold any rectangular object so the the flare from the sun is blocked. How to know it is working? Make sure the shadow of the flag covers the front element of the lens. Nikkor lenses are among the finest in the world. The lens coatings on this lens are no less than that. You can be sure that for all but the most direct specular light rays, light hitting this lens will be flare and ghost free.

Q: 7. For architectural work do you think this 19mm or the 24mm tilt/shift is the better overall option to have on a job?

A: The 19mm is the first NIKKOR tilt-shift that allows you to rotate the angle of tilt. There are times when this can be a great advantage. I've never used the 24mm; but the 19mm can get closer and is so sharp on a 36 M-pixel body that if I must shoot from further away, I can crop the smaller image and blow it up to the desired size.

Q: 8. Can the aperture be set with the camera like the other Nikon tilt-shift lenses?
