Create unique, stylized photographs with a slice of sharp focus surrounded by beautifully blurred imagery by using Lensbaby's Composer Pro II with Edge 50 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 on 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 Edge 50, offering a normal angle of view with coverage for full-frame image sensors. This flat field optic differs from your standard lens by creating a slice of focus when tilted that can be manipulated in position by tilting the Composer and in size by manually changing the aperture from f/3.2 to 22. The optic also offers manual focus which, by using the close focus extension feature, can focus as close as 8" from your subject. Additionally, this optic has a 46mm filter thread as well as an internal 9-blade diaphragm for smooth out-of-focus areas.

[Manual Focus] I bought this lens for the special effect possibilities and the flexibility to change different focal lengths. Note: There is a learning curve to using this lens ... when it is most effective ... or not. This is my second Lensbaby lens ... the other is a Circular Fisheye ... and super fun. Lensbaby lens are very good quality, produce excellent image and low priced ... I think of them as the lens you buy AFTER you have your basic lens. Lensbaby make fun lens for creative images. There lens are manual focus only ... and you set the aperture ... therefore it requires the photographer to think ... and slow down ... and that is part of the fun in using the lens. 5

[Full-Frame] The Edge optics are the hardest to figure out but the results are fantastic once you work with it for a bit. 5

[46 mm (Front)] easy to use, subtle to extreme effects add new perspective and interest to traditional portraits and stilllifes 5

[Manual Focus] I've only been using this lens for a short time, but I love the results. It takes some practice, but this lens has a lot of creative possibilities and the effects are amazing. This a great lens to add to your collection at a reasonable and fair product price. The Sweet 50 is awesome !! 5

[46 mm (Front)] Having recently received the Composer Pro II with Sweet 50 Optic, I have only used it in a production situation once, and that was a low-light fast-moving event. Manually focusing in low light on moving bodies would be challenging with any lens, and of course the Lensbaby tilt system adds another dimension for the operator. Obviously, these are specialty, special effects lenses, and they're not intended for action photography, but I did manage to get several pretty cool shots with the Lensbaby (on my Sony a6500), which I look forward to working on in Lightroom. (I won't post them here because I don't have permission from the subjects.) I find the construction of the Composer II to be solid, the controls seem well-calibrated (and will take some practice to get muscle memory), and I love the look of the Sweet 50. I hope to get more optics; probably a Lensbaby Edge 35mm next, for a normal field of view on APS-C/Super35, and wide on full frame. I like that the optics can be purchased separately for relatively low cost when compared to the price of a whole new lens. I think I'll have fun with this system. 5

[Full-Frame] I enjoy using Lensbaby Composer Pro II. Fun to be creative and experiment with. More flexible range of angles when tilting than a dedicated tilt-shift lens but without the higher expense of a tilt-shift lens. FYI- This isn't a tilt-shift lens. There is no shifting, just a tilting. Macro pull out is a plus. 5

[f/3.2] I had my eye on the Edge 35 for a while and was thrilled when they were back in stock. I love the Edge 35 highlights the subject with a slice of focus while the rest of the photo falls into a nice blur. I like how you can make that slice of focus bigger or smaller when changing the aperture. The slice of focus can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal depending on how you tilt the composer II body. It can also turn into a standard 35mm lens if you leave the composer II straight (no tilt). I am very happy with my purchase! 5

[f/3.2] If you have ever thought about lens whacking, but you think that sounds dirty, this is a much less eyebrow raise heavy way to get a similar effect. Also, your sensor won’t get a thousand dust particles stuck on it’s stupid little exposed face. You won’t be disappointed. For the price, this thing is amazing, and achieves the desired look very well! 5

Alex	23/06/2024
[Manual Focus] This lens is super fun! The optic is nice and sharp, although not for the precision level of a geared shift/tilt lens, it’s great for expressive use of selective focus. 5

[46 mm (Front)] I think this is a great optic for a specific range. It delivers exactly what it says but you have to be an informed buyer and realize its intentions. I love it. I intend on purchasing more of the available optics for the Composer. 5
