Lensbaby .42X Super Wide Angle Accessory Lens
Converts Lensbaby optics from a 50mm focal length to a 21mm focal length, while only slightly shrinking the Sweet Spot. Compatible with the Double Glass, Single Glass, Plastic, and Pinhole/Zone Plate optics as well as our legacy Lensbaby lenses 37mm threaded and screws onto the front of any Lensbaby for ease of use.
Lensbabies LBOSF Soft Focus Optic for Optic Swap System for Lensbabies Composer, Muse and Control Freak
The Soft Focus Optic is part of the Lensbaby Optic Swap System, for use with the Lensbaby Composer, Muse and Control Freak. Soft Focus Optic images are overall soft and diffuse, while somewhat sharper in the center than at the edges. The Soft Focus Optic has a much flatter field of focus and does not have the sweet spot of sharp focus created by the Double Glass, Single Glass, and Plastic Optics.
The Soft Focus Optic works with standard Lensbaby apertures, but also comes with three special soft focus multi-hole apertures to make images that are simultaneously soft and sharp. Stack special soft focus apertures together or with standard Lensbaby apertures to vary the amount of softness. Multi-hole apertures work by combining the sharp center of the optic with a small portion of the soft edges of the optic to vary the balance between sharp and soft. When using the Soft Focus Optic, photographers typically point the lens straight ahead.

Product Description
The Soft Focus Optic is part of the Lensbaby Optic Swap System, for use with Lensbaby’s Creative Effects SLR camera lenses, the Composer®, Muse®, and Control Freak™. Soft Focus Optic images are overall soft and diffuse and are designed for a variety of soft focus applications. Photographers can control the degree of softness by changing the apertures.Lensbaby 2.0 Nikon F Mount SLR Camera Lens (LB2N)
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.
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.
Lensbaby 2.0 Nikon F-Mount fits all Nikon digital and film SLRs as well as the Fujifilm S1 Pro, S2 Pro, and S3 Pro, and the Kodak DCS 100, DCS 200, DCS 420, DCS 460, DCS 410, DCS 315, DCS 330, DCS 620, DCS 660, DCS 720x, DCS 760, DCS 760M, and DCS PRO SLR/n. (Note: A Lensbaby does not communicate electronically with your camera body.)

Lensbaby 2.0, velveteen lens pouch, four aperture rings, aperture removal tool, and instructional booklet.
