Hartblei 40/80/120 tilt/shift SuperRotators

It’s always a challenge starting a new lens review— lots to learn and explore. Shown below are the 3 Hartblei tilt/shift “SuperRotator” lenses: the 40/4, the 80/2.8 and the 120/4, all using modern Zeiss medium format optics, packaged in Hartblei’s SuperRotator lens barrel.

Ever see a near-circular aperture (diaphragm)? All of the Hartblei lenses use 12-bladed diaphragms, and they stay beautifully symmetric when stopped down (not all lenses do).
