Lensbaby Wide Angle/Telephoto Kit for Lensbaby
The Lensbaby Wide Angle/Telephoto Kit consists of the 0.6X wide angle and 1.6X telephoto conversion lenses. The Wide Angle lens converts your Lensbaby's 50mm focal length to 30mm, while keeping the "sweet spot" the same size as a Lensbaby photo taken without a wide angle conversion lens (other wide angle conversion lenses shrink the sweet spot).
The 1.6X converts the Lensbaby to 80mm and slightly increases the size of the sweet spot.
These conversion lenses are fully compatible with all Lensbaby SLR lenses.
Note! Slight horizon line distortions (fish eye effect) sometimes occur when the sweet spot is pushed far off center.
- 37 mm threads, screws on the front of your Lensbaby
- 0.6X wide angle conversion lens
- 1.6X telephoto conversion lens

Comments about Wide Angle/Telephoto Kit for Lensbaby:
I have the composer and love it, the wide angle works fantastically on my crop body, bringing it somewhat closer to the 50mm and the telephoto gives you just that much more reach. They screw on and off very easily and are solid and durable I was impressed to find they came with caps, a cleaning cloth and pouches!

Comments about Wide Angle/Telephoto Kit for Lensbaby:
Nice adapters and they do what they claim, and they're quite sharp.
However, I would reiterate a sentence from the Features list, "Slight horizon line distortions (fish eye effect) sometimes occur when the sweet spot is pushed far off center." Whoever wrote that was clearly a crop-frame user. With my full frame EOS 5D, even a modest move off center cuts the frame off on the opposite edge. That reduces the usefulness considerably. It happens on both adapters (wide and tele). You can still get fine results if you want to crop, or if you keep the sweet spot very near the center, but that negates a lot of the point.
I'd say they're much more useful on a crop-frame camera. Just my two cents. I will happily grant that they're tough (no moving parts) and very light.

Comments about Wide Angle/Telephoto Kit for Lensbaby:
This kit adds both functionality and diversity to the Lensbaby by allowing you to either add or diminish the amount viewing area. Thus enabling you to be more creative depending upon your proximity to the subject. Easy to use although my wide angle does not screw into the macro attachments as well as the telephoto lens.

Nice add-on to provide more versatility in focal length to a Lensbabies lens. Wish they would come with a more useable case and not just a cloth bag with a drawstring.

Comments about Wide Angle/Telephoto Kit for Lensbaby:
I picked this up with my Lensbaby 2.0. I'm glad I did as I find myself using these all of the time.
That the 37mm size also matched my camcorder was a wonderful added bonus.
