Their versatility makes these the perfect lens complement formyriad of applications, including photographing architecture, nature, interiors and still-life especially product photography. When shooting subjects, such as tall buildings withconventional lens, composition often calls for tilting the axis ofcamera. This typically results insignificant distortion of converging lines, impacting the desired visual accuracy of the image.PC-E NIKKOR lens' "shift" control provides correction for this type of distortion. "Shift" control can also givephotographer the ability to "effectively" move the apparent position of the camera providing further perspective versatility, allowing, for example, the ability to avoid unwanted reflections in an image.PC-E lens' "tilt" control gives photographers additional creative control over depth-of-field.

The combination of "tilt" and "shift" co
