Just in time for The Photography Show 2019 , Lensbaby is introducing a new optic in its range of add-ons for its Composer Pro II lens system. The new Lenbaby lens add-on is a 35mm f/2.5 and it works in the same way as the existing 50mm Edge 50 Optic - but with a wider angle of view. These lenses are designed to give a 'slice of focus' effect that allows you to get part of the image sharp, but other areas full of blur and bokeh.
The Composer itself allows you to adjust the angle of the slice of focus at any point and direction in the frame. Whilst the aperture and manual focus controls on the Edge 35 Optic control the amount of blur and depth of field.
The Edge 35 is constructed from four elements in three groups, and has 12-blade diaphragm. It weights 215g
The Composer Pro II is available in fits to work with Canon EF-mount and Nikon F-mount DSLRs - and also with Fujifilm X-mount, Sony E-mount, and Panasonic/Olympus MFT-mount mirrorless cameras.
There are now seven different lens options in the Composer Pro II range.
