“....the Lensbaby 3G is a visually stunning, impressive mechanical redesign…Aesthetically, Lensbaby 3G breaks our preoccupation with image sharpness andallows us to examine a world of controlled blur, whether you use it for traditional soft-focus portraiture or to explore ethereal landscapes and dreamlike imagery.”Steve Baczewski, Photoshop User magazine Read the full review

With the Composer, Lensbaby introduces a completely new lens, based on a ball and socket configuration that delivers smooth selective focus photography with unparalleled ease. The new Composer retains its position after being bent and is easy to use even with one hand. Photographers no longer have to squeeze the lens to focus, but can simply tilt the lens to a desired angle and then focus with a traditional barrel focusing ring. The Composer stays in the desired bent position without requiring a locking mechanism and features the new Lensbaby Optic Swap System.

The Composer features a unique manual focus design which requires more rotation to move the optic as you approach infinity. This makes it easier to focus on objects at intermediate and distant depths than regular manual focus lenses.

The Composer comes with the Double Glass Optic installed.
