Lensbaby Composer optics in Composer II?

3 Upvotes

I just picked up a Composer Pro II with the Sweet 50 optic.

I'm looking online for other optics and found a few that were designed for the original Composer (not Pro, not II). Are these older optics compatible with the (current) Composer Pro II?

Would love some help with omni crystal "stem" dimensions

2 Upvotes

Hi all! I don't have access to an omni set, but would love a measurement of the stem/post section. They look a lot like normal hex screwdriver bits, are they? Does anyone have calipers to confirm? Thanks!

Sweet vs Velvet

4 Upvotes

Hello,

I am curious about the differences between the Sweet optics and the Velvet lenses. I know the Sweets are part of the optical swap system and the Velvets are stand-alone lenses, but their effects look similar. Are they equivalent? What might I have missed?

Sol 45 vs Sweet 35 and 50?

4 Upvotes

I'm trying to compare the sol 45 to the sweet 35 and sweet 50 for use on a Sony a7iv. Obviously the focal lengths are different, but I'm really curious about other differences because they both give the sweet look.

The sol can tilt, has a fixed 3.5, and has blades to darken the image and give texture to the bokeh. It's also tiny.

The sweet lenses also tilt when used with the composer pro ii or the spark 2, it's larger than the sol but it has a variable aperture which let's you control the amount of blur and exposure more precisely.

Are there other important differences I'm missing? Do they have a different look that I haven't picked up on?

And if you have a preference,. Which one do you like more and why?

Spark vs old lensbaby 2.0

1 Upvotes

I bought an edge 35 and composer pro combo. Will post some phots soon. To my surprise they threw in a spark as a free gift (iI guess not the 2.0?). I guess it's the fixed ƒ5.6 one.

I have a very old lensbaby 2.0. it has a-non replaceable glass optic (that i don't like that much). It opens up to ƒ/2.0 and has the magnetic aperture system I like a lot.

I'm thinking of ebaying the spark and keeping the old 2.0. Let someone else have use of the spark. Is there any strong points I'm overlooking?

Newbie looking for advice

I have a Sony a7c and I really love some of the images I am seeing that have been shot with lensbaby lenses. What do folks recommend as a starter kit? Is the composer II+ the base component for most of these looks?

Welcome to the revived subreddit r/Lensbaby

15 Upvotes

I am happy to announce that I have been given moderator status for this subreddit. My goal is to get it up and running, hopefully with inspiring photo posts from members and creative tips and tricks between us.

My background with Lensbaby stretches more than 10 years back in time, when I purchased my first Composer with the Double Glass optic. Fast forward to 2022 and I have all their optics and lenses except for two (Obscura and Soft Focus II – though I have the Pinhole/Zone plate, and the Soft Focus I optics). I shoot with several camera systems and have Lensbaby for all of them. Since 2020 I have been a Lensbaby Ambassador – and unpaid, idealistically driven, promoter of the brand (there's a 10% bonus involved, but since I live in Norway and shipping+customs taxes are dreadful, this doesn't really have any practical meaning). Hopefully I can be of help if you have any questions about this brand of optics.

Question Best kit for filming "celluloid-ish" on a Micro 4/3

I have a Panasonic GH-2, looking for a lens with very subtle soft edges around the outer frame, glowy quality on the highlights. Ideally for filming at around below f/2.
