Nikon 85mm f/2.8D PC-E Micro Nikkor User Reviews

beautifully built, IQ amazing, very nice focus ring. very flexiblecan't tilt and shift independently. only 1:2 Macro
Bought this in 2009 for tricky product macros. It is not the E version but then that is something that I don't need and I'm glad I have the can't go wrong version.

The only downside in handling is that you can't shift and tilt in the same axis, unless you change that. I did just that but then again sure enough the week after you want it the other way round.
Having said that, I have used field cameras for years and this is the next best thing.
One can actually use it hand held in the field for insects and such like, in which case i often use the good old 14B TC. In which case you loose the aperture display but then that is more of a gimmick.
The IQ is just as sharp as the 200mm Micro Nikkor, only with much more DOF and flexibility. You have to be aware that this flexibility takes time though, so it is certainly NOT suitable for fast insects.
It also works for portraits, again the tilting helps with wonderful focusing possibilities. -
very good optical and construction quality, my favorite lens
