Nikon has made two versions of the 28mm PC: the current f3.5, and
the older f4 (I prefer the f4 version for its better off-axis
sharpness). And several versions of the 35mm PC (I prefer the latest
version - and unshifted, it is the sharpest of the Nikkor 35's at f2.8,
making it a decent speed wide-angle [though all of the Nikkor PC lenses
have non-auto "preset" diaphragms]). Maximum shift is 11mm for all,
which places the horizon line only one mm above the frame bottom when horizontal photos are taken with building vertical lines kept parallel.
In vertical photos, the smallest apertures are required for acceptable
sharpness in the upper corners with the full 11mm shift, and the
horizon line is 7mm above the frame bottom. Only thin-rim filters
(and no shade) should be used to avoid vignette. A VF "E" grid
screen is VERY useful. The F3 is the only body that will accurately
meter through the shifted lens (though the meter goes out about 1/2
stop near the extreme shift limit with a vertical photo). Any Nikon
pro dealer can get the PC lenses (try B&H in NYC), or look through
Shutterbug classifieds, where they are occasionally seen used.
Hope This Helps
