PC 19mm f/4 E ED

[Erik Lund]

So I have received my lens Almost to date at the darkest day of the year,,, So far I'm happy with the look and feel of the Architecture Eye

First surprise was the very familiar look of the front bayonet mount and sure enough it's a perfect match to the Beast 28-70mm AFS 2.8 and yes the Lens hood HB-19 slides right on

It will just need a tiny trimming to lock at the right point since the original lens cap LC-K101 has a small locking hatch.

I'll trim it to suit my most used shift & tilt requirements - by the looks of things it will be able to give a lot more protection than the bare glass front Eye,,,

Another possibility is to use a Lee Filter Wide Angle Bellows Lens Hood mounted on the HB-19,,, A little more old school look

Eric, I am lost. How does this relate to the 19mm PC-E. What am I missing?

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Erik is discussing options for a lens hood or similar for his 19 mm f/4 PC-E Nikkor. Quite to the point I'd say.

This is highly interesting if the measure(s) can make the 19/4 more field-worthy or able to withstand more inclement weather.

......more field-worthy or able to withstand more inclement weather.

these words from you mean you take it on your 1AW under water ?

Now I understand. Thanks. Yes, the bulb sticks right out there in the world. It is beautiful indeed.

A bit of trimming, with some measuring and the old warhorse Nikkor 14mm as inspiration, since the field of view is similar fully shifted in all directions.

Gives some protection when handling the lens, works without vignetting as far as tested indoors with full shift & tilt, anyway you get the point as Bjørn stated

I would prefer the icicles to be vertical and the cabin to stand straight. Yes, I get it that post-processing can fix such things with some loss of angle of view but the whole idea of perspective correction lenses is that you avoid having to make such compromises.

I agree completely still the photograph is a beautiful one. I agree with everything it that post.

Hi Erik, I want one, make your price 

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Am afraid the 19 is not sufficiently water tight

[Michael Erlewine]

Erick: Great job! No vignetting?

[bobfriedman]

Thanks!

I hope you noticed HB-19,,,
