I like it!

I'm just a casual photographer...I'm still getting use to the lens, but I like the outcome so far.

happy right out of the box

i just received mine in the mail, after a few adjustments(i'm using a nikon,it has to be full manual) i was getting great shots,it seems more useful outdoors right now, as indoor lighting can be a bit tricky. I receive new lights in the morning,so further tests will tell. I cant wait to get some of the lens swaps,and macro attachments. I'm planning on using this for stop animation, if i can get the indoor lighting set right. although slow shutter would probably help that too. great product.

About Lensbaby Composer

Composer with Tilt Transformer
The Composer with Tilt Transformer is the newest addition to the Lensbaby Creative Effects camera products line-up,

Two products in one, the Composer with Tilt Transformer allows photographers to mount any Nikon mount lens to their Micro Four Thirds or Sony NEX camera and tilt up to twice as far as with standard tilt-shift lenses, delivering photos that have a slice of focus through the image, bordered by a soft blur

The Tilt Transformer provides the foundation for the Composer Focus Front. When used together, they become the Composer with Tilt Transformer, for use on Micro Four Thirds or Sony NEX cameras. This provides photographers with access to the limitless creativity offered by the Lensbaby Optic Swap system.

The Lensbaby Composer is a manual focus lens based on a ball and socket configuration that delivers smooth selective focus and other creative photography looks with unparalleled ease. Photographers can simply tilt the lens to a desired angle and then focus with a manual focusing ring. The Composer stays in the desired bent position without requiring a locking mechanism.

The Composer with Tilt Transformer is compatible with the Lensbaby Optic Swap System* and ships with a Double Glass Optic installed. Additional optics can be swapped in and out, providing photographers with a wide range of creative effects including: Single Glass, Plastic, Pinhole/Zone Plate, and Soft Focus

Lensbaby Composer Features

  • Tilt Transformer:
    When used with a Nikon mount lens, produces a slice of focus through the image
  • Tilt Transformer:
    Width of focus slice is dependent upon aperture - f/1.4 will produce a very thin slice of focus with abundant blur, while f/22 will produce a very wide slice of focus with just a tiny bit of blur. Extreme tilt at a very bright aperture will make that slice appear even thinner.
  • Tilt Transformer:
    Tilts up to twice as far as standard tilt-shift lenses making it possible to achieve more extreme blur falling off of a very thin slice of selective focus, as compared to the usual slice of focus width and focus fall-off of a typical tilt-shift lens
  • Tilt Transformer:
    Built-in mechanism allows Nikon G lenses to function properly at all apertures. Nikon G lenses do not have an aperture ring on the lens itself. This mechanism allows the aperture to open and close by manually rotating the lens itself
  • Tilt Transformer:
    High quality metal swivel ball for smooth, fluid tilt
  • Tilt Transformer:
    Easy grip, metal locking ring controls ease of adjusting tilt
  • Tilt Transformer:

  • Composer Focus Front:
    Supports the Lensbaby Optic Swap System, allowing photographers to swap out the Double Glass Optic and swap in Single Glass, Plastic, Soft Focus, and Pinhole/Zone Plate
  • Composer Focus Front:
    Optic Adapter reduces actual focal length of above lenses to ~40mm (~80mm effective focal length)

    Manual Focusing
  • Composer Focus Front:
    Interchangeable levitating aperture disks
