LOL---yes, Jack---you have first dibs! And yes, it is a true Hartblei 45mm T/S Super Rotator. I even have the original owner's manual!Ken, I still have first dibs on yours! (Assuming it is a true Super Rotator.)
Cool! And no kidding. I just need to get you, Guy and Don to move to Los Altos! :ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:LOL---yes, Jack---you have first dibs! And yes, it is a true Hartblei 45mm T/S Super Rotator. I even have the original owner's manual!
You know, there probably is a lot of truth in Don's suggestion--- between the four of us (Jack, Guy, Don, Ken) we could have one helluva community photography equipment locker! :ROTFL:
Carmel might be safer. Your wife would kick us all out in short order! :ROTFL:Cool! And no kidding. I just need to get you, Guy and Don to move to Los Altos! :ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:
Sorry guys even being actually born in CA (Hemet) I have no desire to return other than for a visit; I'd have to sell half of what I have in my big safe as they'd be against the law in CA. Just isn't going to happen. Besides, when's the last time you heard of an earth quake in AZ? Guy & I are in the right area you two need to move!Cool! And no kidding. I just need to get you, Guy and Don to move to Los Altos! :ROTFL::ROTFL::ROTFL:
Hello.Well, in case anyone is looking for a Contax-mount Super Rotator, I just listed mine in the B&S.
Has anyone reviewed the "new" $2600 version yet?Hello.
All Hartblei products are available now on www.hartblei.kiev.ua
Does anyone know if the "Hartblei" who are now selling the Medium format 45 Super-Rotator with the rear mount for Pentax 645...is the one that incorporates Zeiss glass and I believe is reported to be of a new optical design (from what I can tell)? Has anyone tried out this latest version on their medium format cameras? I too am finding the situation a bit confusing. I did try out an older design years ago, but was disappointed with the performance of the sample I had on hand. Thanks for any info.I had the original in Pentacon 6 mount that I used with a Mamiya 645 AFD years ago. On film it was ok but not great but it always was a crap shoot as to how good the lens would be.
I was very tempted by the Zeiss optics versions that are available from the "other" Hartblei but that was for my D3x. If there had been medium format versions available I'd definitely have bought the set for MF digital use.
The whole Hartblei thing seems like a mess since there would appear to be one Hartblei selling the newer quality glass and MF digital body and then there's the Ukrainian outfit who seem to swap and change dealers & representatives on a random basis. Just be careful ...
Stefan Steib has Hartblei.de who appear to be theones with the Hartblei cam and Zeiss optics. Not sure about the other folks with the agricultural lenses (nothing wrong with lenses built to survive a nuclear blast btw - my super rotator was absolutely built like a tank and designed to last forever!!)
Reminds me of the old televison program called "What's My Line"...for those that remember! For those that don't...it's where three contestants all come forward with all claiming to be the "real" person being showcased. Only after some semi intensive questioning...it's then determined who the imposters are and who isn't.there seem to be three Hartblei
