Observe the following precautions when
handling the camera and lens
• Keep the camera and lens unit dry. Failure to do so could
result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not handle or touch the camera or lens unit with wet
hands. Failure to do so could result in electric shock.
• When shooting with back-lighting, do not point the lens
at the sun or allow sunlight to pass directly down the
lens as this may cause the camera to overheat and
possibly cause a fire.
• When the lens will not be used for an extended period
of time, attach both front and rear lens caps and store
the lens away from direct sunlight. Failure to do so could
result in a fire, as the lens may focus sunlight onto a
flammable object.
• When shifting and/or tilting, handle the lens with care.
Failure to do so, may result in your fingers being nipped
between the lens and the camera body, or the lens
scratching the camera body.

2. Major features
This is a retrofocus-type perspective control (PC) lens that
lets you emphasize or correct near and far perspective, or
control depth of field. It also lets you correct distortion
caused by the camera angle. Moreover, you can use the
lens’ tilt and shift mechanism to achieve focus of the entire
subject plane when it is not parallel to the camera.
• This lens features automatic aperture control. When it is
mounted on a Nikon D4, D3-Series, Df, D800-Series,
D700, D610, D600, D300-Series, D90, D7100, D7000,
D5300, D5200, D5100, D5000, D3200, D3100 or D3000
camera, the user can use all exposure modes to take
images without operating the aperture stop-down button.
• More accurate exposure control is possible when this is
mounted on a Nikon camera with 3D Color Matrix
Metering capability, because subject distance information
is transferred from the lens to the camera body (without
tilting and/or shifting) (with maximum aperture while
mounted on cameras).
• The use of three aspherical and three ED (extra-low
dispersion) lens elements ensures sharp pictures virtually
free of color fringing. Also, by utilizing a 9-blade
diaphragm that produces a nearly circular aperture, outof-focus images in front of or behind the subject are
rendered as pleasing blurs.
• The Nano Crystal Coat deposited on some of the lens
elements ensures that fine, clear images can be
reproduced under various shooting conditions, from the
sunny outdoors to spotlighted interior scenes.
• A total of two SB-R200 Wireless Remote Speedlights can
be attached to the front of the lens*.
* When attaching an SB-R200, tighten the shift lock
release knob. Failure to do so may cause the lens to shift
down under the weight of the SB-R200. Tilting and/or
shifting the lens while the SB-R200 is attached is not
recommended.
En
21
Note on the shift and tilt lock-release knobs
The lens does not lock completely by turning the shift
and tilt lock-release knobs. This is not a malfunction.
Turning the shift and tilt lock-release knobs too tightly
En
to lock the lens or forcibly shifting/tilting the lens when
it is locked can damage it.
3. Usable cameras and available functions
There may be some restrictions or limitation of available
functions. Refer to your camera’s user’s manual for details.
*1 Exposure will be incorrect when the lens is shifted and/or
tilted.
*2
P includes AUTO (General-Purpose Program) and Vari-Program
System.
*3 When the lens power or the camera is turned off
(including using the auto meter off function) while
stopping down the lens aperture, the diaphragm blades
fully open to the maximum aperture. This is not a
malfunction.
*4 Stopping down the lens aperture activates AE-L (AE
lock).
*5 Handle the lens with care while shifting and/or tilting.
Failure to do so may cause the lens to scratch the
camera body.
En
23
*6 See “Mounting lens” (P. 25)
*7
Diaphragm blades open and close after each press of the
shutter button, and exposure will be incorrect for
continuous shooting.
*8 When the lens power or the camera is turned off
En
(including using the auto meter off function) while
stopping down the lens aperture, the lens aperture
remains at the stopped down setting. When the camera
is turned on again or the camera shutter release button
is lightly pressed, the diaphragm blades open once and
then close. This is not a malfunction.
*9 When the camera is turned off using the auto meter off
function while stopping down the lens aperture, lightly
press the shutter release button to display the selected
aperture value in the camera’s LCD or view finder before
shooting. Failure to do this may lead to incorrect
exposure when the shutter release button is fully
depressed.
Aperture stop-down button (one-touch preset
aperture operation)
• The lens aperture can be stopped down from maximum
aperture to a selected aperture by pressing the aperture
stop-down button. Pressing the button again fully opens
the aperture. Whether the aperture is stopped down or
not, check the camera viewfinder, or check the
diaphragm from the front of the lens.
• Even at maximum aperture after canceling the aperture
stop-down, the preset aperture value is displayed on the
camera body.
• When using the D4, D3-Series, Df, D800-Series, D700, D610,
D600, D300-Series, D90, D7100, D7000, D5300, D5200,
D5100, D5000, D3200, D3100 or D3000 camera, the
aperture is stopped down to a selected aperture
automatically by pressing the shutter release button, even
when the aperture is fully open (maximum aperture) before
shooting. When the lens power or the camera is turned off
(including using auto meter off function) after stopping
down the lens aperture by pressing the aperture stopdown
button, the aperture stop-down is cancelled and the
diaphragm blades fully open to the maximum
aperture.

Important
• When the lens is mounted to a camera other than the D4
or D3-Series, shift, tilt and/or revolve the lens with care.
Failure to do so, may result in the lens scratching the
camera body.
• This lens is a manual focus lens, and autofocus is not
possible even when the camera's focus mode is set to
AF mode.
•
Use of tilt/shift function can cause some vignetting or slight
color change. (Vignetting is the darkening of the corners
around the image.)
• When mounted on Nikon DX format digital SLR cameras,
such as the D300-Series and D7000, the lens’ picture
angle becomes 61° and its 35 mm equivalent focal length
is approx. 36 mm.
• Be careful not to soil or damage the CPU contacts.
• If the lens mount rubber gasket is damaged, be sure to
visit your nearest Nikon authorized dealer or service
center for repair.
• In low temperatures, new or fully charged batteries
should be used in the camera.
4. Mounting lens

) on the hood (either of two
(
indexes) with the lens hood mounting
index on the lens, and turn the hood
clockwise until it click stops to secure.
• Make sure that the lens hood
mounting index aligns with the lens
hood setting index (
• If the lens hood is not correctly
attached, vignetting can occur.
• To facilitate attachment or removal of the hood,
hold it by its base around the lens hood
attachment index rather than its outer edge.
• To store the lens hood, attach it in the reverse position.

6. Determining exposure
When using the Nikon D4, D3-Series, Df,
D800-Series, D700, D610, D600, D300-Series,
D90, D7100, D7000, D5300, D5200, D5100,
D5000, D3200, D3100 or D3000 camera
a
Set the shift and tilt amount to 0 by
rotating the shift and tilt knobs.
(Fig. 2)
b
Set the camera’s exposure mode.
c
With A or M exposure mode, set the
aperture using the aperture ring or the
camera’s command dial. When using the
camera’s command dial, set the aperture
to minimum aperture lock (L) (Fig. 6).
With P or S mode, set the aperture using
the camera’s command dial.
When using other Nikon cameras
a
Set the shift and tilt amount to 0 by rotating the shift
and tilt knobs. (Fig. 2)
b
Set the camera’s exposure mode to M.
c
Press the aperture stop-down button to fully open the
aperture, set the aperture ring to “3.5” (maximum
aperture), and set the shutter speed for correct
exposure.
d
Set the desired aperture by rotating the aperture ring
and shift the shutter speed by the same number of
changed steps.
• Setting the aperture ring to minimum aperture lock (L)
fixes the aperture at f/32 (minimum aperture).
• Set the aperture with the lens’ aperture ring even on a
camera that requires aperture to be set via its command
dial. With a camera that has the custom setting menu
“aperture setting with lens’ aperture ring,” this setting
is not required.

Determining exposure (with an external exposure
meter)
a
Set the shift and tilt amount to 0 by rotating the shift
En
and tilt knobs. (Fig. 2)
b
Set the camera’s exposure mode to M.
c
Set the desired aperture via the lens’ aperture ring or the
camera’s command dial and read the aperture value
displayed in the camera’s LCD panel or selected aperture
ring value. Input the aperture value to the external
exposure meter to determine exposure, and set the
shutter speed.
• When using a camera other than the D4, D3-Series, Df,
D800-Series, D700, D610, D600, D300-Series, D90, D7100,
D7000, D5300, D5200, D5100, D5000, D3200, D3100 or
D3000, set the aperture with the lens’ aperture ring even on
a camera that requires aperture to be set via its command
dial. With a camera that has the custom setting menu
“aperture setting with lens’ aperture ring,” this setting is not
required.
7. The shift/tilt function
Important
• Use of a tripod is recommended for correct shooting.
• Turning each knob too tightly can cause damage.
• Use of tilt/shift function can cause some vignetting.
(Vignetting is the darkening of the corners around the
image.) To counteract this, close the aperture (choose a
larger f-number), or compensate the exposure before
shooting.
• Determining correct exposure with shift and/or tilt use
requires experience. We recommend that you take a
series of test shots until you feel comfortable with the
operation.
28
• When the lens is mounted to a camera other than the D4
or D3-Series, shift and/or tilt the lens with care. Failure to
do so, may result in your fingers being nipped between
the lens and the camera body, or the lens scratching the
camera body.
The shift function
Fig. 7
When the shift knob is rotated, the lens is shifted horizontally (or
vertically, when the lens is revolved) parallel to the camera body
(±11.5 mm).
By shifting, you can recompose the frame of the shot
without moving the camera.
This lets you correct the perspective distortion of the
subject or exclude unwanted objects from appearing in
front of the main subject (p. 207).
• After shifting, tighten the shift lock release knob to fix
the lens’ shift position.
Note: When shifting the lens, be careful not to pinch your
fingers between the lens and the grip of the camera
body.
En
29
The tilt function
En
Fig. 8
By rotating the tilt knob, the lens is tilted up and down (or
right and left, when the lens is revolved) ±8.5° to the
camera body. By tilting, you can obtain clear focus of the
entire subject plane when it is not parallel to the camera or
can focus small areas of the subject which are parallel to
the camera (p. 207).
• After tilting, tighten the tilt lock release knob to fix the
lens’ tilt position.
• Note that tilting the lens also changes the viewfinder
image.
• Once the lens is tilted, neither the depth-of-field scale nor
the distance scale on the lens barrel can be used.
