Why there is no Nikon to Sony adapter?

If your lens is a new PC-E type lens, then you can't adapt it to any mount because the aperture control is electronic. And I'm pretty sure even the previous iteration of this lens had the same electronic aperture control.

No. The PC 85 has a fully manual aperture. Eletronic Aperture was THE new feature of the PC-E lenses (that's where the "-E" part comes from). So far, these are the only Nikon lenses with this feature.



Changing the orientation of tilt and shift does not really look like an issue to me with these lenses. Honestly, I never really used the shift feature of the TS-E 90 or the PC-E 85. YMMV, though, and it's certainly an important point with lower focal lengths.



However, if I was a Canon user, I would certainly prefer the TS-E 90 over the PC 85. The electronic aperture of the TS-E was the thing I missed most on my PC-85 and it was the main reason to upgrade to the PC-E 85.
