Lensbaby Macro Kit (AMACK) by Lensbaby

.

Want to explore the jungle in your backyard or capture the gleam of a diamond ring in a new way? The Lensbaby Macro Kit allows you to use selective focus on a very small scale. The Lensbaby Macro Kit features one +4 filter and one +10 filter, which can be screwed onto the front of your Lensbaby lens either individually or together, allowing you to focus from 2 inches to 13 inches away.

Lensbabies has launched a set of macro lenses for use with its selective-focus SLR camera lenses, Lensbaby 2.0 and the Original Lensbaby. The macro set consists of one +4 and one +10 macro lens that can be mounted to the front of the Lensbaby lens, allowing photographers to focus in on minute details with eye popping Lensbaby effects.
Lensbaby 2.0 and the Original Lensbaby bring one area of a photo into sharp focus, with that 'sweet spot' surrounded by graduated blur. Photographers can fluidly move the sharp area around the photo by bending the flexible lens tubing. By mounting the +4 or +10 macro lenses (or both at the same time) to the front of the Lensbaby, photographers can use the selective focus effect at very close ranges.

Macro lenses can be attached to the selective-focus, flexible Lensbaby 2.0 and Original Lensbaby. (Click for larger image.)

A Lensbaby without a macro lens has a minimum focus of 16 inches. With the +4 lens attached the focus range is from 6 inches to 13 inches. With the +10 macro lens attached, the focus range is from 3.5 inches to 5 inches. With the +4 and the +10 stacked on each other and mounted to the front of a Lensbaby, focus range is 2 inches to 3 inches. +4 and +10 Macro Product Spec Sheet

Lensbaby The Composer for Canon EF mount Digital SLR Cameras

.

The Lensbaby Composer is a manual focus SLR lens based on a ball and socket configuration that delivers smooth selective focus and other creative photography looks with unparalleled ease. It comes with the selective focus Double Glass Optic installed, which delivers a Sweet Spot of sharp focus surrounded by graduated blur. The Composer also features the Lensbaby Optic Swap System which includes several selective focus as well as other creative optic options. Photographers can simply tilt the Composer to a desired angle and then focus with a manual focusing ring. The Composer stays in the desired bent position without requiring a locking mechanism.

The Composer features a unique manual focus design which requires more rotation to move the optic as focus approaches infinity. This makes it easier to focus on objects at intermediate and distant depths than regular manual focus lenses.

How to Use the Composer

The Composer is a breeze to use. Simply bend the lens to move the Sweet Spot and then focus.

The Composer stays in its bent position without needing to be locked. If you want to ensure the Composer will not move during an extended shooting session, you can lock the lens's position by rotating the Locking Ring. This locking feature makes the Composer ideal for studio photography or for longer or repeated exposures.

Product Description

By bending the Lensbaby lens, the photographer moves the sharp area around the photo for customized creative effects.

Lensbaby 2.0 Canon EF Mount SLR Camera Lens (LB2C)

.The Lensbaby 2.0 is a second-generation selective-focus SLR camera lens, bringing brighter, sharper, and faster selective focus photography to professional and avid amateur photographers. Compared to the Original Lensbaby, Lensbaby 2.0 has a greater range of aperture settings, a much sharper "sweet spot" of focus, and a new levitating magnetic aperture system that makes it a snap to change apertures.

Images taken with the Lensbaby 2.0. (Click for larger views.)

Lensbaby 2.0 and the Original Lensbaby bring one area of a photo into sharp focus, with that "sweet spot" surrounded by graduated blur, glowing highlights, and subtle prismatic color distortions. Photographers can fluidly move the sharp area around the photo by bending the flexible lens tubing. Lensbaby 2.0 features an f2.0 aperture setting in addition to the Original Lensbaby's f2.8, f4.0, f5.6, and f8.0. With Lensbaby 2.0, a photographer can control the size of the sweet spot of sharp focus by changing the apertures. The brighter the aperture, the smaller the sweet spot of focus, and the greater the amount of graduated blurring in the photo's surrounding area.
Lensbaby 2.0 also features a coated, high-refractive-index, low-dispersion optical glass doublet instead of the singled uncoated optical glass element in the Original Lensbaby. Lensbaby 2.0's optic creates a much sweeter sweet spot of focus, which allows photographers to print large photos and see fine details like eyelashes or individual threads of fabric in the sharp area. Photographers will also find that Lensbaby 2.0 has minimal diffusion even at the f2.0 aperture setting.
Lensbaby now has two products that will appeal to a broader range of photographers. Many photographers will want to have both versions of Lensbaby in their camera bags; others will naturally find a favorite. Those who love soft-focus, diffused images will gravitate towards the Original Lensbaby, while photographers who want a brighter lens with a very sharp sweet spot of focus and minimal diffusion will favor Lensbaby 2.0.
Lensbaby 2.0 also features a levitating magnetic aperture system that makes changing apertures faster than with the Original Lensbaby, which uses a rubber gasket to hold aperture disks in place. Lensbaby 2.0 uses three shielded magnets embedded inside the optics cup to suspend metallicized plastic aperture disks just above the coated optical glass doublet. When a photographer drops an aperture disk into Lensbaby 2.0, it quickly snaps into position.
Removal is also very easy: Lensbaby provides a complimentary Cell-Klear Lenspen that the photographer inserts through the center hole in the aperture disk to lift it out.
Both Lensbaby 2.0 and the Original Lensbaby combine several vintage camera technologies in a novel, patent-pending combination. The shooter focuses a Lensbaby using the same general principle used with a bellows camera, by moving the focusing collar in and out with his or her fingertips. The photographer moves the sweet spot of focus around the picture by bending the glass optic out of a parallel position to the image capture plane, like a tilt-shift lens.
The Lensbaby 2.0 Canon EF Mount fits all Canon digital and film EOS SLR bodies, as well as the Kodak DCS-1, DCS 520, DCS 560, and DSC PRO SLR/c. (Note: A Lensbaby does not communicate electronically with your camera body.)
What's in the Box:
Lensbaby 2.0, velveteen lens pouch, four aperture rings, aperture removal tool, and instructional booklet.

The Composer stays in the desired bent position without requiring a locking mechanism and features the new Lensbaby Optic Swap System.
