Lensbaby Sweet 22 Lens Kit for Nikon Z Camerasis offering the Nikon Z-mount Sweet 22 Lens Kit, which bundles a case, lens cloth, and neutral density filter with the special effects lens. Named for its sharp, small, and centered spot of focus, the Sweet 22 leverages the sea of impressionistic blur that surrounds the focal point into dramatic optical effects and dreamlike imagery for boundary-pushing creators. Compatible with full-frame and APS-C sensors, its wide field of view and minimum focusing distance of 5" allow for distinctive separation of the subject from its surroundings, making the lens ideal for portraiture in both photo and video applications. Lightweight at 5 oz, its compact, pancake design, and metal construction make the Sweet 22 a robust, reliable, and singular addition to any lens kit.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. How is this different from a Lensbaby Sweet 50mm lens?

A: The main difference is how they mount to the camera. The Sweet 50 requires a Composer Pro lens to attach to the camera while the Sol 45mm has a direct lens mount.

Q: 2. There are two images of this lens. One is very short, like a pancake. The other is longer. Can you please explain the two different looks? I am looking at this for a Canon R5, if that matters.

A: Lensbaby desing this lens in 2 different size for different camera mounts. The correct image for the Canon RF mount is the third image in our website which is the largest version. The lens dimensions are 63mm x72mm (LxW), with a front diamter of 46mm to attach filters.

Q: 3. Is it manual or auto focus?

A: Manual

Q: 4. My Canon R6 won't shoot with the Sol 45mm. I get F00 message. What's wrong?

A: As the Lensbaby Sol 45mm f/3.5 Lens for Canon EF Cameras is a fully manual lens and has no electronic contacts, the Canon EOS R6 Mirrorless Camera does not know a lens is connected when using this lens on the camera. As such, you would need to go into the camera's menu under the Custom Function Menu (Tab 4), and under [Release Shutter w/o Lens], select [ON: Enable], which will allow you to release the shutter of your camera when using the Lensbaby Sol 45mm f/3.5 Lens for Canon EF Cameras (or a third-party lens with a manual lens adapter).

Q: 5. Will it work on my Canon 5D? ( basic I Know!! )

A: Yes, this lens will work on your Canon 5D!

Q: 6. Will it fit on a Nikon D500?

A: Yes, the Lensbaby Sol 45mm f/3.5 Lens for Nikon F Cameras, B&H # LELBS45N, would be compatible for use on the Nikon D500 DSLR camera. Do note that this is a fully manual lens with a fixed f/3.5 aperture. You will have to use the camera in either A (Aperture-priority) or M (Manual) mode, and to have the camera enter the EXIF data for the lens, you would have to go to the Setup Menu and go to the Non-CPU Lens Data section and enter the lens' focal length and aperture into the menu as stated on pages 250-252 in the Nikon D500 DSLR camera's instruction manual.

Q: 7. Of any cap I've ever owned, this is the worst to keep track of. I have yet to contact Lensbaby about the design, but it's quite difficult to get off by pinching and not having it fly off the lens. I've lost it over a bridge and just today in the snow. Wish there were a filter I could use and simply put a regular lens cap on it. Definetly going to order the Sensei lens cap leash, since the Lensbaby cap is so easy to lose. Are there any alternative caps that will remove easier?

A: Sorry I have not had any issues.

Q: 8. Would this have a 70mm focal length on BMPCC 4k?
