ROKINON 24mm F3.5 Tilt Shift Lens (Nikon F Mount)

The ROKINON 24mm Tilt is a specialized wide-angle lens designed for Nikon F mount systems. It gives photographers exceptional control over depth of field and perspective. Whether you’re capturing architecture, products, or landscapes, this lens allows creative and technical flexibility that standard lenses cannot offer.

Optical Design and Capabilities

This lens includes 16 optical elements arranged in 11 groups. Notably, two aspherical and two extra-low dispersion elements reduce chromatic aberrations and distortions. The F3.5 maximum aperture performs well in a variety of lighting conditions, while stopping down to F22 improves depth of field for detail-rich images. On full-frame cameras, the 83.5° angle of view captures expansive scenes. Moreover, a minimum focusing distance of 0.2 meters lets you get close without compromising sharpness. The lens features an 82 mm filter thread and weighs just 647 grams.

Tilt, Shift, and Movements

With ±8.5° of tilt and ±12 mm of shift, this lens enables exact control over perspective and plane of focus. Additionally, both the tilt and shift axes rotate independently up to 90°, with 30° click-stop increments for precision. The mount itself also rotates ±90°, allowing even more positioning options. These functions are essential for correcting converging lines and maximizing sharpness across the frame.

Manual Operation and Build

This is a fully manual lens, offering tactile and responsive control. Although it lacks autofocus or electronic contacts, its design ensures reliability and repeatability. Furthermore, the strong metal housing withstands regular professional use. Full-frame coverage ensures minimal vignetting when tilt and shift adjustments are applied within standard limits.

Use Cases and Benefits

Architectural photographers can maintain true verticals in tall structures, while product and landscape shooters gain precise focal control. In addition, the shift function allows reframing without moving the camera, saving time in complex setups.

The ROKINON 24mm Tilt lens for Nikon F is a powerful tool for photographers who require control, quality, and versatility. Its professional-grade optics and mechanical movements deliver reliable results in demanding situations.
