Exposed on Kodachrome using a Nikon F3T with 35mm PC (perspective control) lens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the 1990s, I often worked with a Nikkor 35mm PC (perspective control) wide angle lens.<\/p>\n

This allowed for a degree\u00a0of correction using a shifting front element to minimize the effects of convergence of vertical lines on the film plane.<\/p>\n

In this November 1992 view of Washington Union Station,\u00a0I made good use of perspective control to keep\u00a0front of the building from the appearance of falling away from the viewer. (A common complaint with wide angle architectural views).<\/p>\n

While a very useful tool, I eventually sold the lens because I felt that it wasn’t sufficiently sharp in the corners, also it was comparatively slow (just f3.5 at its widest aperture.).<\/p>\n
