Nikon PC-Nikkor 28mm f/4 Shift Lens – Perspective Control – Rare Manual Prime

Description:
The Nikon PC-Nikkor 28mm f/4 is a manual focus Perspective Control (PC) lens designed for architectural, interior, and landscape photography. Introduced in 1975, it was Nikon’s first 28mm shift lens, allowing photographers to correct converging verticals and distortions directly in-camera—long before digital correction tools existed.

Unlike standard wide-angle lenses, the PC-Nikkor 28mm f/4 features a large image circle and a mechanical shift mechanism that enables up to 11mm of shift in any direction. This makes it ideal for capturing buildings, interiors, and scenes where straight lines and accurate framing are essential.
