which is better, this one or the 45mm PC-E on a D700?

[Lilkiwiguy87]

Do not know because we do not take photos for you. Perhaps rent both out for a week or two to see and decide for yourself.

Great review of an interesting lens. What advantage is there to having the tilt and shift not on the same axis? - why does Nikon make it that way? - why don't they make it the other way?

Thanks again for all your great videos.

When having the lens rotated, you can shift and tilt / swing the lens at same axis without moving the camera. Without having it rotated, you are limited to two different axises: shift and tilt / swing.

That is a good question, we do not know why Nikon produced PC-E lenses that way instead of having the ability to rotate the lens to share shift and tilt / swing on same axis (like Canon's TS-E lenses).

No one put in a request for the 85mm PC-E yet.

We did a video on the older PC version of 85mm.
