Draw more attention to your subject with a circular spot of focus surrounded by a beautifully blurred background with this Lensbaby Composer Pro II with Twist 60 Optic and ND Filter, available here with a Pentax K mount. This updated tool is completely compatible with the established Optic Swap System and can be used with any of the numerous optics available. This version is an improvement on the original Pro model with a metal body and an improved tilt function that ranges from 0-15° in any direction to precisely control the area of focus.

Bundled with the Composer Pro II is the Lensbaby Twist 60 optic. Compatible with the Optic Swap System, this full-frame 60mm f/2.5 lens is useful for creating portraits and stunning visual effects. It products a twisty, swirly blur that easily separates your subject from the background. It has an internal 12-blade diaphragm for smooth out-of-focus areas, and can be manually adjusted from f/2.5 to f/22 utilizing the knurled ring on the front of the lens. The included 3-stop neutral density filter makes it possible to increase bokeh by shooting with a wider aperture in bright situations. Focus is adjusted manually and you can get as close as 18" from your subject. The Twist 60 has 46mm front threads for using filters to further enhance the image. The Twist 60 optic is compatible with all Lensbaby's current and legacy Optic Swap lens bodies and macro accessories.

Q: 2. How does this lensbaby twist 60 optic differ from the 85mm Petzval lens?

A: This is a 60mm lens by Lensbaby, with a f/2.5 aperture. The Petzval is an 85mm portrait lens produced by Lomography with an aperture of f/2.2, and is made to replicate a specific style of portraiture that features unique aberration that is unpredictable. The Twist 60 optic allows you to have more control of the outcome.

Q: 4. Is the Twist 60 at all effective with a crop sensor camera, like the micro four thirds format?

A: The Twist 60 was designed for full-frame cameras. We don't recommend using it on a crop sensor camera because a lot of the twisty effect will be cropped out by your camera. Here is our Twist 60 comparison between a full-frame camera and a crop censor camera: a href= http://lensbaby.com/twist-60-full-frame-vs-crop-sensor/. target= _blank http://lensbaby.com/twist-60-full-frame-vs-crop-sensor/./a Here is a review of this optic on a crop sensor camera: a href= https://www.lifepixel.com/gear/lensbaby-twist-60. target= _blank https://www.lifepixel.com/gear/lensbaby-twist-60./a There would be even more of a crop when using a Micro 4/3 camera.
