Hartlbei HCam – DSLR lens mount
Many DSLR lenses cover much larger than the 35mm format. Advanced designs for increased resolution provide a benefit of a significantly larger image circle. Most exceptional is Canon’s 24mm tilt-shift lens which covers 645 format with movement while maintaining sharpness to the corner. The Hartblei Cam supports a digital interface for the Canon EF mount with full electronic aperture control. Additional manual mount versions of the Hartblei cam include Nikon F, Sony/Minolta, Pentax K, Leica R and Contax.
