Lens worked well with the RPi HQ camera. The only thing that was a bit confusing is that you need to remove the CS lens adapter that comes installed on the HQ camera. Otherwise the lens is too far from the sensor and you can not focus. This is not noted anywhere, took some Googling to find the problem.
