Hartblei Russian Lens
MC TS-PC Tilt Shift 80 mm
Description
This lens offers an affordable entrypoint for all portrait photographers, who
want to understand and get experience with Shift and Tilt according to Scheimpflug.
The overall good optical performance and the improved coating (compared to the
original Arsator lenses) make this lens an excellent buy.
The latest revisions of this lens feature the same anti-flare casing that was
developed for the Hartblei Prototypes (with Optics by Carl Zeiss). The lens
does have little distortion, captures images with good sharpness (perfect from
f 8 1/2) and offers 10 mm Shift and 8 mm Tilt, using the unique superrotator
mechanism.
Users of full format cameras will achieve 183% of the originally available
pixel size with a shift of 2x10mm horizontally. The resulting image angle will
be comparable to a 30mm lens (on correlation to 35mm format). For example, if
you stitch two exposures as portrait formats, this will result in a usable chipsize
of 44x36mm (at 4 mm overlapping), this gives you a picture diagonale of 56.8
mm opposing a 43.2 mm diagonale at 24/36 = Factor 1.3 ! With crop sensors and
a chipsize of 1:1.5, the gain with a 3-time-exposure/stitch is about 250% (a
Nikon D2x will result in 30 Mpixel!).
This makes the 80mm lens a true "work horse" for commercial photography,
be it people, portrait, or weddings, but also for architecture. In short: a
lens for many opportunities.
Production in Kiev (Ukraine) keeps the price relatively low, despite its massive
robustness and quality.
