Lensbaby announced two new additions to their Optic Swap System, the Fisheye Optic and Soft Focus Optic.

The new Lensbaby Fisheye Optic allows photographers to turn their Lensbaby Composer or Muse into a fisheye lens by swapping out the installed optic and dropping the new Fisheye Optic into the lens. The Fisheye Optic has an ultra-wide 12mm focal length and aperture settings ranging from f/4 to f/22. The Lensbaby Soft Focus Optic works with Lensbaby’s Creative Effects SLR camera lenses, the Composer, Muse and Control Freak. It features a 50mm focal length, magnetic disk aperture system and f/2 optic with aperture disks that range from f/2.8 to f/22. Read the rest of this entry »

I think mjs1973’s review is a fair and detailed account of the pros and the cons of the Lensbaby Composer. Just because the lens wasn’t for him doesn’t mean you won’t love it. It’s a very subjective product. If you’ve got a Lensbaby lens, please share your experience by writing a review. Reviews by community members are the foundation of PhotographyREVIEW.com.
