SUMMARY
Comprising a series of tools for producing creative selective focus imagery, this Composer Pro II Optic Swap Kit from Lensbaby is designed for Nikon F-mount DSLRs. This kit includes a Composer II along with a Sweet 35 Optic, a Sweet 50 Optic, and the Edge 50 Optic, as well as 8mm and 16mm Macro Converter extension tubes, a 14 x 14" lens cleaning cloth, and a System Bag for protecting and storing the whole kit.
Have unprecedented precision control over the "sweet spot" of focus in your selective focus photos with the Lensbaby Composer Pro II with Sweet 35 Optic available here with a Nikon F 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 Sweet 35, the widest focal length of any Lensbaby selective focus optic. This curved field optic differs from your standard lens by creating a 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 f/22. The optic also offers manual focus as close as 7.5" from your subject. Additionally, it has a 46mm filter thread as well as an internal 12-blade diaphragm for extra smooth out-of-focus areas.
Composer Pro II features an upgraded metal body with charcoal gray accents and an improved tilt control from 0-15° in any direction.
Compatible with Lensbaby Optic Swap System.
The Sweet 35 Optic is a curved field of focus optic that creates a spot of focus surrounded by blur when utilized with tilt. When used straight ahead, the optic functions as a normal lens.
Aperture range from f/2.5 to f/22.
By using built-in close focus function, the Sweet 35 Optic can focus as close as 7.5" from the subject.
Lens construction features 4 multi-coated glass elements, in 3 groups.
The Sweet 35 Optic accepts 46mm filters for additional creative shooting techniques.
Internal 12-blade aperture diaphragm for smooth out-of-focus elements.
The Lensbaby Sweet 50 Optic is made for use with the Composer Pro, which can be bought separately, or used interchangeably with the Sweet 50 if you own it already with a different optic. It is a selective focus lens that uses a curved field of focus optic to create a blurred effect around the focus spot.
The 50mm focal length lens has two multi-coated glass elements in one group, and an aperture range of f/2.5 to f/22. The 12-blade internal aperture is easily controlled via a ring on the front of the optic. The sharp sweet spot of focus can be moved within the frame by tilting the Composer Pro's ball-and-socket joint. The size of the sweet spot is also controlled by changing the aperture.
Be selective with your focus with the Lensbaby Edge 50 which offers a normal angle of view with coverage for full-frame image sensors. It is compatible with the Optic Swap System and all Lensbaby lens bodies including the Composer Pro. This flat field optic differs from your standard lens by creating a slice of focus that is bordered by gradual blur created by tilting the Edge 50 Optic in the Composer Pro or Composer Pro II in conjunction with the 9-blade adjustable aperture for smooth out-of-focus areas. If used as a 50mm prime lens, images will be crisp from edge to edge. You can manually change the aperture from f/3.2 to f/22 utilizing the dial on the front of the lens. The optic also offers manual focus which, by using the close focus extension feature, can focus as close as 8" from your subject. In addition, the Edge 50 offers 46mm front threads for any filters you would like to use. Keep your lens smudge free with the included microfiber cloth and protected when stored in its hard storage case.
Lensbaby's Macro Converter Extension Rings for Lensbaby lets you take that Lensbaby look as close to your subject as you want--even touching it in some cases--and get a picture that's in focus. You can choose the 8mm ring, the 16mm ring (both included), or combine them for a 24mm ring, so you have plenty of control over exactly how close-up you want your photo to be. The converters are compatible with all Lensbaby lens bodies and optics, and provide focus distances of 0" to 8.13", depending on the optic, the camera, and the converter(s) you use. The Macro Converters simply screw into the Lensbaby lens body and the optic screws into the converter. The converters are compatible with Composer, Composer Pro, Muse, Scout, Control Freak and all optics (the Fisheye Optic is only compatible with the 8mm converter, as it allows you to actually focus on a subject that the lens is touching).
The Lensbaby System Bag (Black) is a sturdy, flexible bag designed to carry many combinations of lenses (Muse, Control Freak, Composer, Scout and Composer with Tilt Transformer), optics or accessories. The removable and adjustable elastic straps inside the bag allow customizing the interior. The sides of the bag feature an easy-access corner flap that enables access to frequently used products. The bag includes several pockets including an outside zipper and an inside mesh full length sleeve. They are used for stowing an Aperture Kit, Macro Kit, or even extra media cards. There are touch fastener straps on the bottom of the bag that allow attaching 1 bag to another. The bag is carried by a handle and a removable, adjustable shoulder strap with a non-lip pad.
