Outstanding performance is the hallmark of the HARTBLEI lenses. Space-age optics technology, premium-grade glasses, exclusive coating formulas and timeless old-world craftsmanship are the ingredients for these extraordinary professional products.
Each lens element is ground and polished with meticulous care to exacting tolerances and covered by a special multilayer coating to reduce internal reflections, increase transmission efficiency and enhance contrast. Resulting photographic images are of breathtaking quality, exquisite in their definition, luminance and color fidelity.
In addition, each HARTBLEI lens is hand assembled and carefully checked. All lenses have a metal housing, no plastics are used.
