With a 19mm focal length among the PC NIKKOR series lenses*1, the PC NIKKOR 19mm f/4E ED produces a dramatic ultra-wide-angle view, making it ideal for architecture and interior photography. This high performance perspective control lens also lets you quickly adjust the optical axis of the lens—independent of your camera position—to bring an entire landscape into sharp focus, to alter the natural depth-of-field of a scene, to selectively focus on certain subjects, to offset perspective anomalies in architectural shooting, and more.
The PC NIKKOR 19mm f/4E ED delivers high-definition rendering, retaining superb resolution even at the periphery areas. Three Extra-low Dispersion glass elements reduce chromatic aberration to enhance sharpness and contrast, while two aspherical lens elements correct distortion. The Nano Crystal Coat with its high anti-reflection properties effectively minimises ghosting and flare effects even when light enters the lens diagonally, to achieve truly superior images.
For the first time on PC NIKKOR lenses, the PC NIKKOR 19mm f/4E ED features a new Perspective Control (PC) Rotation mechanism that can be accurately adjusted based on the needs and intentions of the photographer. With this mechanism, the direction of tilt operation can be made parallel or perpendicular to shift, to suit a wide range of shooting situations. The rotating of tilt relative to shift can be rotated up to 90° with a stop at 45°.
NIKKOR’s original fluorine coat effectively repels dust, water droplets, grease or dirt for easy removal and maintenance on the go. The high peel-resistance performance provides extra durability, while the anti-reflective effect ensures clarity in images so you can capture your creative vision wherever your assignments take you.
