ium-format lens design. Designed as an alternative to technical cameras for use in architecture and other photography, the new lens can correct perspective, adjust the plane of focus without changing the depth of field, and selectively sharpen or soften an image. The Phase One 45mm f\/3.5 TS lens works with Phase One and Mamiya medium format cameras and costs $3,990.

\nMechanics with tighter tolerances
\nNew interior antireflection coating
\nMore streamlined mechanical design
\nWhen used with the Phase One 645 camera system, the Phase One 3.5\/45 mm TS lens offers a simple, alternative to more advanced technical cameras. With it, photographers can adjust the plane of focus without changing the depth of field, correct perspective and selectively sharpen and soften an image \u2013 quickly gaining creative possibilities that cannot be realized in post-production.
\nBRBR
\nThe Phase One 3.5 \/45 TS lens comprises a simple eight-lens optical system. Each element is coated with a multilayer anti-reflective coating to reduce internal reflections, increase image transmission efficiency and enhance contrast.

\nHartblei was founded in the mid-90s as a Ukrainian company based in Kiev. Its original mission was to modify Kiev Cameras and Lenses made by Arsenal. Hartblei then developed the famous line of “Super Rotators — Shift and Tilt lenses with 2x 360 degrees of free movements — for medium format and 35mm cameras. Today the company works with world-class companies to ensure high quality. Its offices are located in Munich and Kiev, from which it produces its special TS lenses.
