Standout product photography

1:2 macro shooting with perspective control

Nikon’s high performance perspective control lenses let you quickly adjust the lens' focal plane—independent of your camera position—to match your subject composition, enhance depth-of-field, selectively focus, correct perspective anomalies and more. The PC-E Micro NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED combines that control with 1:2 (reproduction ratio) macro shooting and a fast f/2.8 maximum aperture for commercial and studio applications.

Outstanding image quality

Nikon technology for superb performance

Like all NIKKOR lenses, the PC-E Micro NIKKOR 45mm f/2.8D ED produces truly superior images. Three Extra-low Dispersion (ED) glass elements ensure outstanding sharpness and color reproduction. Nano Crystal Coat (N) virtually eliminates ghosting and flare and Nikon’s exclusive Close-Range Correction (CRC) system enhances performance at close distances. And since it’s a Nikon, you can expect the highest standard of lens design and durabliity for years of consistent performance.

Technology

Nano Crystal Coat

An anti-reflective coating developed by Nikon that virtually eliminates internal lens element reflections across a wide range of wavelengths.

ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) Glass

An optical glass developed by Nikon that is used with normal optical glass in telephoto lenses to obtain optimum correction of chromatic aberrations.

CRC (Close Range Correction) System

The Close-Range Correction (CRC) system is one of Nikon's most important focusing innovations, for it provides superior picture quality at close focusing distances and increases the focusing range. With CRC, the lens elements are configured in a "floating element" design wherein each lens group moves independently to achieve focusing. This ensures superior lens performance even when shooting at close distances. The CRC system is used in fisheye, wide-angle, micro and selected medium telephoto NIKKOR lenses.
