Hartblei is a Ukrainian manufacturer of optical equipment for photography based in Kiev. They are primarily known for producing tilt-shift lenses (Super-Rotator). Taking lens designs produced by Kiev-Arsenal they modify these into tilt and shift designs of their own. They also produce modified versions of the Kiev-Arsenal cameras.
In 2006 Hartblei started a collaboration with Carl Zeiss AG, adapting Zeiss lens designs for tilt-shift use.

Using the unique Super-Rotator design, Hartblei tilt-shift lenses are capable of tilting in any axis,[1] making it more flexible than other lenses such as the Canon TS-E 90mm lens.
