Nikon PC E Micro 45 mm 85 mm lenses

Nikon has confirmed two tilt and shift (also known as perspective correction) lenses we first heard of in January this year. There is the normal focal length PC-E Micro Nikkor 45 mm F2.8D ED and medium telephoto PC-E Micro Nikkor 85 mm F2.8D, both of which provide ±8.5° tilt, ±11.5mm shift and 90° axial (rotation) movement and also have the much touted Nano Crystal Coat. When used on the D3, D300 (and we presume D700) these lenses also provide automatic aperture control as well as manual override using the aperture ring on the lens.
