Lensbaby Composer Pro Ii With Double Glass Ii Optic (micro Four Thirds)
- Product Code: ga122672
-
Draw more attention to your subject with a circular spot of focus surrounded by a beautifully blurred background by using the Lensbaby Composer Pro II with Double Glass II Optic, available here with a Micro Four Thirds mount. This updated tool is completely compatible with the established Optic Swap System and can use any of the numerous optics available. This version improves upon the original Pro model by featuring a metal body as well as an improved tilt function that ranges from 0-15° in any direction.
Bundled with it is the Double Glass II Optic, a 50mm optic with a 12-blade diaphragm that creates a "sweet spot" of focus when tilted that can be manipulated in position by tilting the Composer and manipulated in size by manually changing the aperture from f/2.5 to 22. Further expand the image's creative possibilities with nine specialty magnetic disks, featuring apertures in shapes such as the five-pointed star or heart, that render out-of-focus points of light with the same shape as the aperture. The optic is compatible with all of Lensbaby's current and legacy Optic Swap lens bodies and macro accessories.

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. what is the difference between the 'sweet' version and the 'edge' version?
A: The main difference would be the shape of the blur/bokeh pattern created by the lens. The Lensbaby "Sweet" lenses create a rounder radial bokeh blur pattern, while the Lensbaby Edge creates a straight 'slice' (think more rectangular) bokeh blur pattern. The size and amount of the blur with both lenses can be controlled by the aperture you choose, and the strength and position of the blur can be controlled by the position of the lens.
Q: 2. I have the composer pro ii in both canon and fuji mounts, and in both the lens is very hard to tilt even with the ring loosened. is this normal?
A: Hi Christie, we already corresponded via email. If you open and close the tension ring a few times and still have trouble, please send it in to us at Lensbaby and we will fix it for you.
Q: 3. Will the lensbaby magnetic aperture rings work in this lens?
A: The Lensbaby Trio 28 Lens with Filter Kit for Canon RF has a fixed aperture of f/3.5 which cannot be changed or adjusted. The magnetic aperture rings used on other Lensbaby lenses are not compatible for use on the Lensbaby Trio 28 Lens with Filter Kit for Canon RF.
Q: 4. Will this work on the sony a5000?
A: Yes, works on my Sony a6000 and Sony A9. It's pretty fun! Has a neat effect when it is turned halfway between two lenses.
Q: 5. Can I use this with my Olympus OM-D E-M1?
A: Yes! It will work in Aperture Priority Mode and your in-camera light meter will work or you can shoot in Manual Mode.
Q: 6. I'm looking for a versatile medium telephto lens for both photo and video. The lensbaby is intriguing. Can I enlarge the in-focus area enough to use it as a true telephoto to capture video simply by stopping down the aperture? Has anyone experience using this lens for video?
A: Hi John, This lens can be used for video but it is not a telephoto lens.
Q: 7. Does this lens produce quality images on an APS-C body?
A: Yes. You can use the Burnside 35mm f/2.8 with Nikon DX (APS-C image sensor format) models to produce quality images. With this format it will provide an equivalent focal length of 52.5mm.
Q: 8. Why this lens is so expensive compare to COMPOSER PRO II WITH EDGE 50 OPTIC (besides it is 50mm)?? THanks.
A: The PL-mount is for a movie camera. Only order the PL-mount if you have a movie camera that takes PL-mount lenses.
Q: 9. Does this fit on the Sony a6500? or just full frame?
A: The Trio 28 for Sony E-mount will be compatible with your Sony A6500 camera.
Q: 10. This is compatible with Canon MarkIV? I am thinking to buy Twist 60 optic as well!
