Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can the aperture be set with the camera like the other Nikon tilt-shift lenses?

A: Yesanywhere from /4 to /32The cameras preview stop down button also works.

Q: 2. Is this lens auto focus?

A: When you see the mechanics of this lens, you will understand why there is nor room for autofocus. Focus must first be done in non shifted mode and then shifted/ tilted. It is inconvenient to those that require autofocus but pays back dividends to other that will spend the time with examining for exact manual focus not through the viewfinder, but in Live view. It's really the only way to use this lens properly.

Q: 3. when this lens will be available to buy?

A: Unfortunately, we do not have an estimated arrival date for the Nikon PC NIKKOR 19mm f/4E ED Tilt-Shift Lens at this time. If you havent already, you could choose the Request Stock Alert option on the lenss page on our site. We would then send you an email when the lens came into stock. That being said, we are accepting preorders on the lens at this time.

Q: 4. When not being used in either tilt / shift mode (and settings for both zeroed out ), I assume that this lens can essentially be used as a prime manual-focus rectilinear 19mm F4.0 lens with fantastic optics, correct?

A: Absolutely outstanding results

Q: 5. 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: 6. Will this case fit the new Sigma 35mm f/2 (c) for Sony?

A: This case would be too small for the Sigma 35mm f/2 for Sony E. A more suitable case is the Ruggard Fold-Over Neoprene Lens Pouch (3.5 x 4.5", Black), BH # RULPNF35X45 https://bhpho.to/3xa8A3T

Q: 7. Does this not come with the lamp holder?

A: No, the Profoto Zoom Rod Small does not come with the lamp holder.

Q: 8. Is the bayonet fitting just for the cap? It would be very useful to have a hood for this lens even if it was designed only for the unshifted/tilted FOV

A: Just for the cap (unless Nikon plan to come along with a hood sometime later...but I doubt it). $70 for the cap if you need a replacement -- so take care of it!

Q: 9. Are there any limitations in using the lens on the Nikon d850?

A: I asked Nikon technical support the same question. Their reply: there are no horizontal or vertical shift limitations when using the Nikkor 19mm PCE lens on a D850.

Q: 10. Can the aperture be set with the camera like the other Nikon tilt-shift lenses?

A: Yes, it can, just use A mode on the camera.
