About Lensbaby Obscura 50

Become a part of the extraordinary journey into the roots of photography with the Lensbaby Obscura 50 Optic for Nikon F. This innovative product is not just a lens, but a unique tool for photographers and creators who appreciate the beauty of simplicity and relish the challenge of redefining photographic art.

The Lensbaby Obscura 50 Optic for Nikon F immerses both the photographer and the lens in a sophisticated interplay of light and shadow, creating unique flares and image artifacts that are impossible to achieve with any standard camera lens. This high-quality optic is available in three versions, including a 50mm Pinhole/Zone Plate/Pinhole Sieve optic for our Optic Swap System, a standalone 50mm Pinhole/Zone Plate/Pinhole Sieve, and a standalone 16mm Pinhole/Zone Plate/Pinhole Sieve pancake lens for mirrorless cameras.

Unlike most pinholes, the Obscura's imaging elements are durable and resistant to damage, thanks to their construction from three layers of chrome with a total thickness of 0.00014mm deposited on 1.5mm thick glass. This is then coated with an anti-reflective layer, ensuring excellent light transmission and perfectly round pinholes and precision zone plate zones, courtesy of a photolithography process with a resolution of 128K dpi.

The Obscura's pinhole, zone plate, and pinhole sieve options produce more detail than the pinhole option, enveloping the underlying detail in a soft glow. By increasing contrast and enhancing vibrance and/or saturation, you can bring a zone plate or pinhole sieve image to life. The zone plate offers a curved field of focus, creating a sweet spot, while the pinhole and pinhole sieve provide similar resolving power at the corner of the image as they do in the center.

Compact and portable, the Lensbaby Obscura 50 Optic for Nikon F is a versatile addition to any photographer's kit, compatible with a wide range of Nikon F-mount cameras. This lens allows photographers to clean the Obscura's glass as they would any camera lens, without fear of damaging any of the three imaging options. Experience the unique pinhole effect and the artistic potential of this lens, and redefine your approach to photography.
