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!

A: Yes, it is compatible. Works perfectly on 5Dmkiv.

I used this in conjunction with a metabones .71 speed booster and my lumix GH4 to create a soft background for an interview. If you can ignore my embarrassingly shaky footage (first attempt with the new equipment) you can check out an example below. Black and white interview was shot with lensbaby and then monochrome color graded. https://youtu.be/Asj7cwmbY0U

I've been using the Velvet 56mm mostly for macro but was delighted to see that at the right distance this lens can be used for landscape. The rich, velvety appearance of the lens's feature added a glow that would have been difficult to simulate in post processing. If you buy this lens be prepared to go manual for the lens does not speak to the camera and there isn't any metadata captured. That means the focus is manual as well as f/stop settings and you will need to keep a notepad to remember the aperture, shutter speed, and iso for each photo...if that matters to you; or develop a good feel for the aperture effects and a good memory. In a short while, it will become second nature and you'll know by looking at your result the f/stop. Some might not like the non-automatic nature of this lens, but I feel it is forced me to slow down and think more deliberately about my photography. For that I see it as being a good thing.

I love this lens for the effects it gives when I take pictures of flowers and plants. it is a manual lens but it is easy to use and to focus. At f/1.6, I have not managed to achieve an area within the frame with sharp focus. The images end up being a little soft. I think that this is expected, therefore I did not reduce my rating of the lens for that reason.

As every review says, the manual focus takes some getting used to. Other than that, the lens is easy and instinctual to use. Once you finally get a scene in focus the way you want it, you have a wonderful, delicate photograph. I Love This Lens.

In taking courses from several well-known photographers who specialize in flower photography, I kept hearing the name LensBaby. I loved the stuff they were shooting with this lens so I thought I'd try it. Well, I love, love, love it! I love its versatility it can shoot a little blurry or a lot blurry or no blurry at all! For someone who doesn't shoot many landscapes this is the perfect Lens. In fact it could be the only Lens I will use, for a time, anyway! Thank you so much for a great product.

This specific Lens Baby model is much easier to use than previous versions. The manual focus works very well and has a lot of latitude and I'm very pleased with my images. I also like the bolt in aperture ring.

It's a manual focus lens, with a manual aperture ring that is controlled from the lens itself. It took a little getting used to... But I love it. For me, it's like using my old AE-1 but with the convenience of digital. For those who have never used a manual camera, this lens may not be for you. The fixed focal length and manual controls may be considered drawbacks for some people. I had found the transition from analog to digital to be difficult, and this lens helps me shoot the way I did when I was young and idealistic.... But I digress. This lens is known for its dreamy effect at wide apertures, and it delivers. But I was surprised at how sharp the images are when stopped down to f11 or f16! I did some test shots from my roof, and when reviewing the images on my computer I was able to see details from blocks away in sharp focus. The only thing I don't like about the lens is something I consider to be a design flaw. The markings on the aperture ring are covered up by the hot shoe on the camera, so that I have to turn it at an awkward angle to see which aperture I'm on. I've already gotten used to it, but it was annoying. Otherwise, I just adore this lens, and I'm currently using it more than any other.
