Photographers working in architectural fields appreciate the movements and perspective correction available when working with a tilt-shift lens. The Nikon PC Nikkor 19mm f/4E ED ($3,399.95) is the widest you can get for a Nikon system—Canon shooters have access to the TS-E 17mm f/4L ($2,149)—and features dual points of rotation, as well as tilt and shift movements. It's a premium lens that delivers strong image quality for demanding professionals, and can also be used in a more uncontrolled manner to snap images with more artistic flair. It's expensive, even when compared with other lenses of its type, but a strong performer. If your needs aren't as demanding, consider the Samyang T-S 24mm F3.5 ED AS UMC as a low-cost alternative. Design The PC Nikkor 19mm ($3,396.95 at Amazon) is a big lens, which isn't a surprise considering its wide-angle field of view and perspective correction features. It measures 4.9 by 3.5 inches (HD) and weighs in at just under 2 pounds. The front lens el...

The Nikon PC Nikkor 19mm f/4E ED is a speciality lens capable of shift and tilt movements. Image quality is strong, but its asking price is quite high.

Ultra-wide angle perspective; Quite sharp; Resists flare; Fluorine protective coating; Tilt and shift movements; Dual-rotation mechanism

Omits autofocus; Some barrel distortion; Pricey

I would have a huge problem if I had to say why there are two Nikkors 18-300 mm present on the market. Perhaps underestimating the rivals is one of the reasons. In 2012 Nikon, by offering an 18-300 mm model as the first, managed to beat Tamron when it comes to the focal range.

very useful focal range,, good resolution in the frame centre at all focal lengths,, proper correction of coma at longer focal lengths,, moderate vignetting at longer focal lengths,, slight astigmatism at longer focal lengths,, good performance against bright light,, quite silent and accurate...

weak image quality on the edge of the frame at all focal lengths,, high lateral chromatic aberration near the maximum relative aperture of 200-300 mm focal lengths,, significant barrel distortion at the wide angle and distinct pincushion in the 35-100 mm focal range,, modest standard accessory kit.

Those looking for a convenient all-in-one zoom lens for travel, or simply to cut down on lens changes will love the extreme zoom range this 18-300mm lens offers. Sacrificing the f/5.6 maximum aperture at 300mm of this lens' predecessor is a worthwhile compromise in my opinion, as it has resulted in...

When Nikon announced a smaller, lighter and cheaper alternative to its AF-S Nikkor 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens, we expected it to be inferior on all fronts. Well, we were in for a surprise.

I bought this lens together with a Nikon D7200 and they create a perfect match. With the great sensitivity of the D7200 there is no need to bring another lens unless you do specialized work.

accurate auto focus, lightweight, macro mod

poor in low light, not very durable

The Nikon AF-S DX 18-300mm f/3.5-6.3G ED VR is a neat and travel-friendly superzoom for Nikon DSLR cameras...

This super-zoom lens for Nikon DX format DSLRs covers a huge 16.7x zoom range, equivalent to 27-450mm on a 35mm camera. It sports internal focusing, and Nikon's Vibration Reduction system.

I used this lens for over a year, love it, I do change it occasionally to a wider lens but then find I want to take a want a longer lens for the next shot. Its great to walk around with if you like taking all different types of photos, from close butterfly’s to animals.

Easy to use, Compact, Build quality, Battery life

I got this lens specifically to shoot an evening function in a relatively tight space that would have been difficult to do with my 50mm f/1.4 and it did not disappoint. Very fast, nice and wide, great IQ even when wide open.

High quality, Easy to Use, Durable, crisp images

lens hood is a bit fiddly to get on

This is hot off the press and basic feedback after a very quick initial play with this lens. Plus points so far seem to be 1. It is very compact and therefore lightweight lens 2. Focusing is almost instant 3. There is a manual focus wheel which can even be used when autofocus is on 4.
