Absolutely incredible

Finally Nikon is doing it, making top quality TS lenses. I have the 85mm PC and now 24mm PC-e and my other lenses are just boring by comparison. Granted, you have to focus manually--not a huge problem at 24mm.

I can't say enough good things about this lens. at 3.5 its tack sharp. obviously it only gets better from there.

the dials on the side are a little smaller than the 85mm pc--that would be my only complaint on an otherwise fantastic lens!

Shift lenses are headed in the right direction, getting better and better. The Hartblei/Zeiss offerings out out of the reach of many (price) but Nikon's current offerings include the 24 f/3.5, a 45mm f/2.8 and an 85mm f/2.8. Canon has a similar line. Discontinued are Nikon's 28/4, 28/3.5 and 35/2.8 PC-Nikkors (no tilt). Schneider's 28mm PC-Super-Angulon remains available for Nikon or Canon users. All of the latter lenses are "covered" in28mm Shift Lenses on DX frame.

The Nikon 24 T/S is a very nice handling lens and built to similar standards as the several-year old 85 f/2.8D PC-Micro-Nikkor. However, it now offers electonic aperture control, a boon for usability, but a disappointment for those of us who like to shoot Nikon lenses also on Canon via an adapter.

The good news is that optical performance is very high. Having used the Canon 24/3.5L T/S and the Olympus 24/3.5 shift (but not owning either at the moment) I can only hazard the following experience-based opinion: the Nikon offering appears to be the best yet available in the 24mm tilt/shift realm. Congratulations Nikon! A future in-depth report will have to speak to the details of this fine lens, but stitched images certainly are one good use of this lens, like this 19 megapixel example below.

The bottom line for me is that when the budget cooperates, the Nikon 24 T/S is a lens I want to own. I expect that the 45mm and 85mm offerings will afford even better performance.

Takes a while to get the hang of using it, but you can do thing with it that no other type of lens can do.
