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 Sweet 50 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 50, which offers a normal perspective on full-frame cameras. 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 22. The optic also offers manual focus as close as 15" from your subject. Additionally, the Sweet 50 has a 46mm filter thread as well as an internal 12-blade diaphragm for extra smooth out-of-focus areas.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the difference between these and the extension kit that’s the same price?

A: Close up filters are easy to use, with no loss of light, but lose image quality, do not work well on wide angle lenses and you cannot focus at infinity. Extension tubes work well on wide to normal lenses and there is no lost in image quality. However, they do not work well on telephotos, you lose infinity, you lose light the longer they are, exposure can be trial and error, the build quality of the connection and any electronics can have an effect on usefulness.

Q: 3. 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: 4. Compatible with Canon 40D?

A: Technically it is compatible but this optic is specifically designed for full-frame cameras. If you have a crop sensor camera, most of the effect will be cropped out. Some effect will be visible with the aperture wide open.

Q: 5. Will this fit on the Sol 45mm?

A: Yes, the Sol 45 is a 46mm thread mount.

Q: 6. Is the straight body compatible with all the other optics too? How does it work with Edge and Sweet optics?

A: Yes, the straight body that the Twist 60 is sold in is also optic swap compatible. Everything will be centered. The Sweet optics will work great but the Edge optics need to be tilted slightly to see the Edge effect. Because of this, I would not recommend using the Edge optics in the straight body unless you want to use them like a prime lens.

Q: 9. 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.
