One of two new specialist lenses, this PC-E 45mm optic is just that, a specialised lens that is not for the faint hearted, and to that end it comes with a comprehensive manual for a modern lens. This makes a total of three PC-E lenses along with the 24mm and 85mm versions. The advances over older models include Nikon's new Nano-coating of the optical elements and auto-aperture for compatible camera bodies as well as improved optical performance.
The lens is capable of tilting, shifting and rotating in order to adjust the perspective and to help control the plane of the depth-of-field. Because of these adjustments, the lens does not offer any autofocus capabilities although a lens of this nature requires careful manual focusing anyway.
The manual does warn you that setting the lens off centre can cause you to pinch your fingers if care is not taken, especially in the shift mode. This is due not just to the movement of the optics but also the numerous knobs that stick out of the lens body that enable the adjustments and locking off that the optic is capable of.
As you would expect from a Pro standard lens from Nikon, the build quality is excellent with all of those knobs and buttons, along with the slide and tilt mechanisms, working smoothly and efficiently. There is a mild click as the lens comes back into line on both adjustments and the rotation mechanism has similar presets at 30° intervals with locks at the four 90° points. All of the graduation marks are engraved into the body of the lens as well as being painted.
