Stefan, I have great respect for the work that you and your partners do. IMHO, this lens just did not work for me. It may work well for others but not for me.
I could not get the jpegs to load completely (gave it 5 minutes), I would be interested if you put up raw files on dropbox.
Thanks,
MB

I would not recommend this lens for architecture. However my experience with Vitaliy in the Ukraine was very positive, communication was very good and he did refund my purchase.

Got the lens back from Hartbeli and I am sorry to say that this lens does not equal the sharpness of my 35mm SMC Pentax-A 3.5 MF.
Shot side by side at infinity, mirror up & on a tripod. It is sharp at close & medium distance, in the center but falls off at the corners.
At infinity it is soft everywhere at stops 8-32.
Big disappointment for me as I had high hopes for the lens. Must be a sample variation as so meny users report good results. Going to ship it back and request a refund.

Hi, Very interesting thread. I just bought the Hartblei 45mm super-rotator, new version from Vitaliy in the Ukraine. Lens took a few weeks to arrive and when I finally got it I gave it a test. found one side of the frame to be soft and that pretty made it unusable for my purposes. Sent an email to Hartblei and Vitaliy responded right away offering correct the problem. Now it is off to the Ukraine and hopefully it will come back nice & sharp. Thinking that it might be a lens decentering issue.
Here is a link to the test I shot, I do not claim to be an expert at testing lenses, so please bear this in mind when looking these over. Any ideas & suggestions are welcome.

Works great for me and is faster than IT2 to a watched folder in LR. I will buy it cause I need it now and can not wait for pentax & adobe to get it on.
