Apparently the D800 will have problems with the Nikon PC-E lenses. Bit fragmented and crude/sparse information, but This I get from it:

The housing of the D800 makes that you can not use the PC-E as designed. Also, for some reason it will not meter when tilted or shifted... And not focus??? That seems nonsense to me.



All in all, pretty odd! Designing a camera perfectly suited for architectural and landscape photography (full frame high resolution sensor), and then not being able to use it with your own tilt shift line of lenses.

From Nikon Rumours:



[indent]Unfortunately, the built-in flash in cameras other than D3/D4 series will cause the 24mm PC-E lens movements to be slightly limited and pose a risk of damaging the underneath of the flash. It is mentioned in the lens user’s manual:



“When the lens is mounted to a camera other than the D3, shift, tilt and/or revolve the lens with care. Failure to do so, may result in the lens scratching the camera body.”
