Now, in part two of my review, I am taking on the&nbsp;Composer Pro II with the Sweet 50, Edge 50, and the Twist 60.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Like the others in this review, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/lblbcp250c.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Composer Pro II system<\/a> is well-built. This unique-looking lens is an attention grabber. It&#8217;s small, quirky, and entices you to give it a try. For those who haven&#8217;t come across Lensbaby&#8217;s Composer Pro before, the basic concept is for the user to have selective focus control. This is a little difficult to visualize at first, but when the lens is centered, only the area in the middle of the frame is sharp, and the edges are blurred. By tilting the lens, it is possible to move the area of sharpness or &#8220;sweet spot&#8221; freely around the frame, selectively focusing on your area of interest.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43797\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43797\" style=\"width: 1068px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43797\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/lake-and-trees5889.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1068\" height=\"712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/lake-and-trees5889.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/lake-and-trees5889-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/lake-and-trees5889-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1068px) 100vw, 1068px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43797\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Shot with Canon 1DX Mark II, Lensbaby Composer Pro II with Edge 50 optic, ISO 2000, shutter 1\/160, aperture f11.<\/em><br \/><em>In this photo I stopped down to show how this lens reacts to apertures f11 and higher.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/lbo50.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sweet 50 optic<\/a>&nbsp;(<span class=\"dynamic-data\" data-type=\"price\" data-sku=\"LBO50\"><\/span>) is a 50mm focal length and has a circular area of sharp focus in the center.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/lbt60c.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twist 60 optic<\/a>&nbsp;(<span class=\"dynamic-data\" data-type=\"price\" data-sku=\"LBT60C\"><\/span>) is a 60mm focal length and casts a radial blur to the background or edges of the image.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43799\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43799\" style=\"width: 1068px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43799\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/orniment.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1068\" height=\"712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/orniment.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/orniment-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/orniment-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1068px) 100vw, 1068px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43799\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Shot with Canon 1DX Mark II, Lensbaby Twist 60 optic, ISO 2500, shutter 1\/60, aperture f3.2.&nbsp;(Photo by Mike Nelson)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Performance:&nbsp;<\/h4>\n<p>The single most important characteristic of these optics, in terms of getting the image you want, is the dependence of the size and sharpness of that &#8220;sweet spot&#8221; with aperture. You can use a large aperture to keep attention tightly focused on a small area of sharpness in the image, or stop down to make a larger area sharp. Keeping this in mind, and very much like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/hands-on-review-lensbaby-velvet-56-velvet-85\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Velvet lenses previously mentioned in this series<\/a>, I found all of these optics made the whole image a little too soft for practical use when shot wide open. As you stop the lens down, the blurring effects become less noticeable.<\/p>\n<p>So, the key is to find an aperture that gives you sharp focus on your subject and significant blur where you want it. I found it difficult at times to achieve sharp focus on my intended subject, so some practice will definitely help you capture the image that you want. Overall they all had very nice image quality.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43798\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43798\" style=\"width: 1068px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43798\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/ocean-and-wave5890.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1068\" height=\"712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/ocean-and-wave5890.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/ocean-and-wave5890-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/ocean-and-wave5890-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1068px) 100vw, 1068px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43798\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Shot with Canon 1DX Mark II, Lensbaby Composer Pro II with Sweet 50 optic, ISO 400, shutter 1\/1600, Aperture f4.<\/em><br \/><em>I really think the effect that these lenses cast on your images look especially great when shooting &#8220;light and bright&#8221; subject matter.&nbsp;(Photo by Mike Nelson)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Conclusion:<\/h4>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure if Lensbaby&#8217;s intention was for this to be an everyday shooter, because that might not be the best fit. It&#8217;s a unique and flexible little system, but definitely not a run-and-gun lens. This is the lens you pull out after you got the &#8220;shot&#8221; and you have some time to get creative. Or, it&#8217;s the one of the lenses you pull out when need to give your client a variety of different looks.<\/p>\n<p>That said, I really enjoyed my time with the Composer Pro II and out of all the products I tried. I think the Composer Pro II would be my first Lensbaby buy. If you can remove yourself from this fast-paced world we live in and get some one-on-one time with the Composer Pro, I am sure it will awaken that artist inside you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_43800\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-43800\" style=\"width: 1068px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-43800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/surfboards.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1068\" height=\"712\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/surfboards.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/surfboards-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/surfboards-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1068px) 100vw, 1068px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-43800\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Shot with Canon 1DX Mark II, Lensbaby Composer Pro II, Aweet 50 optic, ISO 1600, shutter 1\/160, aperture f3.2.&nbsp;<\/em><br \/><em>Notice how the wide aperture has confined the &#8220;sweet spot&#8221; to small portion of the frame.&nbsp;(Photo by Mike Nelson)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Cons:<\/h3>\n<p>Mounting and removing the optics is a little tricky at first<br \/>\nImages are too soft for practical use when shot wide open<br \/>\nThe aperture ring is hidden at certain times<br \/>\nNo communication with camera<\/p>\n<h3>Pros:<\/h3>\n<p>Pseudo tilt shift lens characteristics<br \/>\nSmall, lightweight, and very flexible system<br \/>\nLow price<br \/>\nForces creativity<br \/>\nMacro capabilities with added converter<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve already read part one of my Lensbaby review (on the Velvet 56 and the Velvet 85), you&#8217;ll know that I was a bit overwhelmed about reviewing all of these lenses.
