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 Double Glass II Optic, available here with a Sony E 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 Double Glass II Optic, a 50mm optic with a 12-blade diaphragm that creates a "sweet 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. Further expand the image's creative possibilities with nine specialty magnetic disks, featuring apertures in shapes such as the five-pointed star or heart, that render out-of-focus points of light with the same shape as the aperture. The optic is compatible with all of Lensbaby's current and legacy Optic Swap lens bodies and macro accessories.

Q: 8. Can I use the Sony vertical grip with this birdcage?

A: Sorry, no the Sony Vertical Battery Grip for Alpha a7 II will not fit this cage. Generally for video, battery grips are avoided with external battery solutions being preferred. Having a large V-mount battery on the back of the rig has been found to be much better for weight distribution with the added advantage of having power for other accessories such as a light, a recorder, a monitor etc, etc.

Q: 9. what is the difference between the 'sweet' version and the 'edge' version?

A: The main difference would be the shape of the blur/bokeh pattern created by the lens. The Lensbaby "Sweet" lenses create a rounder radial bokeh blur pattern, while the Lensbaby Edge creates a straight 'slice' (think more rectangular) bokeh blur pattern. The size and amount of the blur with both lenses can be controlled by the aperture you choose, and the strength and position of the blur can be controlled by the position of the lens.
