Nikon 35mm PC shift lens changes colors
In the shifted position the image gets cooler. Is this common with
shift lenses or this particular model, or is there something wrong with my lens? It's from the 1960s or 1970s 35/2.8 Nippon Kogaku, and I mount it on an N90s. The N90s manual says not to use this lens, so maybe the color discrepancy is the reason why, although it mounts and shoots with no problems. I bought it used several years ago and the seller indicated it was modified. I don't remember how...AI? Anyway, I guess I should use a warming filter or maybe get an older body. Any thoughts? |

It gets darker in the viewfinder as I shift, so I compensate. It seems
+1 to +2 stops is correct, depending on the amount of shift, and the lens only clicks at full stops. But I can also see a color change as I shift the lens. In comparing the non-shifted and shifted prints, the coolness is obvious. Chris Loffredo wrote: Does the image just get cooler (or darker) in the viewfinder or also on prints/slides? |

I've used this lens extensively in the past, though I no longer own it. I never noticed any color shift at all, and the falloff while shifted was minimal. If i recall correctly, the reason for the prohibition on the N90 (and others) was because the lens flange would damage the electrical contacts on the body. The solution was to mill away part of he mount to clear them. Does your lens show evidence of this? Either way, the color shift (or lack thereof) would not be affected by any such modifications. |

Nikon lists in its manuals which lenses cannot be used. As far as I can tell, shift lenses are generally okay provided that they are compatible with Ai cameras. -- That was it. Done. The faulty Monk was turned out into the desert where it could believe what it liked, including the idea that it had been hard done by. It was allowed to keep its horse, since horses were so cheap to make. -- Douglas Adams in Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency |
