Review on Enhance Your Photography with Nikon PC-E FX Micro NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED Fixed Zoom Lens by Junee Mauck

Great TS Lens - Lenses

I've had a 24mm PC-E for a long time and after getting rid of it I bought this as I was missing the creative aspects of TS photography. The quality of this lens is simply fantastic. If you are unsure about this, rent it somewhere in advance, e.g. B. at a lens rental. TS photography is not for everyone and the price is steep. Other than that, this lens is a good choice. What I would also like to point out is that the aperture here changes depending on the focus. Obviously this is a common feature of macro lenses, but I wasn't aware of it until I saw it in action on this lens. When focusing at infinity, the aperture range is from f/2.8 to f/32. At close range, the aperture range is f/4 – f/43. This can actually be very useful as it gives a large depth of field, which is useful in macro photography when the depth of field is already insanely shallow. I recommend this lens, it worked great on my D5100 and D70.

Pros
  • As everything still is
Cons
  • Scarce manual
