Since the weather was nice, I headed to Komazawa Park for a test ride…
PC Micro-Nikkor 85mm f/2.8D
Miniature photography / tilt-shift photography—I realized this is quite a challenging lens to hand-hold…
• When tilting significantly, the viewfinder gets extremely dark, so I need to press the aperture button, focus, then press the button again.
• When tilting, the f-value already shows an abnormal reading and the focus confirmation mark is subtle, so it’s a shoot-and-check situation.
• I have to operate the tilt, focus, and aperture button all at once, and sometimes I forget to lock it and the lens ends up drooping.
It’s quite a sharp macro lens that works well even for shop work.
