Overview

The Hartblei 120mm f/2.8 TS-PC MC Super-Rotator is a specialized tilt-shift lens offering extreme perspective control and a longer working distance than competitors, ideal for macro and portrait work. Optically, it is very sharp stopped down with no distortion or chromatic aberration, but slightly soft wide open at the periphery. Build quality is excellent with all-metal construction and precise controls, though the tilt rotation lock is awkward and there are no rotation scales. It lacks electronic communication with the camera. The lens suits photographers needing flexible movements in a compact, robust package, particularly for field use and focus stacking.
