A Lente SLR de Efeitos Especiais Composer Lensbaby é parte da série de lentes SLR Lensbaby e oferece os mesmos resultados de efeitos especiais espetaculares. Entretanto, a Composer introduz um design completamente novo. Baseada em uma configuração de esfera e soquete, essa versão possibilita um controle de foco seletivo e mais suave.
A Composer manterá sua posição após ser flexionada, o que facilita seu uso, mesmo com apenas uma das mãos. Os usuários também não precisarão mais apertar a lente para focar. Basta inclinar a lente no ângulo desejado e depois focar com um anel de focagem de barril tradicional.
A Lensbaby é uma lente híbrida, entre a câmera de fole e a câmera "tilt-shift". Ela permite a focagem seletiva com câmeras SLR. Isso produzirá uma focagem nítida em uma área da foto, cercada por uma área desfocada que aumenta gradualmente. Efeitos como áreas fora de foco, altas luzes brilhantes e distorções de cores prismáticas sutis podem ser atingidos sem manipulações de software. A lente pode ser flexionada fora do centro em qualquer direção para diferentes resultados.
A Composer apresenta o Sistema Optic Swap. A Lensbaby desenvolveu uma linha de lentes diferentes que podem ser trocadas com as versões Muse e Composer. Isso oferece aos artistas uma variedade quase ilimitada de visuais e estilos para capturar suas visões exclusivas.
A Composer vem com o Vidro Ótico Duplo, que oferece o foco mais nítido em sua faixa. Ele oferece um "sweet spot" muito nítido, com difusão mínima em todas as aberturas. Como opção, também estão disponíveis a Ótica de Plástico para um visual ultrassuave e etéreo, a Ótica de Vidro Único para uma aparência "vintage", ou o Pinhole/Zone Plate para imagens focadas mais suaves com visual de sonho que são igualmente nítidas de ponta a ponta.

The Composer is just about the funnest thing you can mount on the end of your camera. It is frustrating, goofy, very difficult to focus, and mine focusses infinitely beyond infinity. But I love it and I don't know of anything else like it on the market. You want to change aperture? Take out the magnet, and pull out the old one and drop in a new one.
I'm a bit immobile right now but I see great artistic potential in this lens. People see shots from it and wonder how the heck I did it. It is so old school, or beyond old school. It is way too expensive, but I can see folks getting one and it never leaving their camera. You can even get blanks to form your own aperture shapes. Bokeh? Well, you cannot complain anymore, you made it. That bokeh concept is now your responsibility. Hearts, diamonds, stars, whatever. As I said, it is too expensive, but worth it too. And there are lots of options (that I haven't gotten, yet) to make the Lensbaby kit even more expensive. Macro attachments, wide angle, short telephoto. Heck, I'll probably wind up with a $500 Lensbaby kit, and I won't even know why. But as I said, it is just simply cool and highly addictive. Try that with a $2000 zoom.
If I was shooting film, I would probably toss it into the garbage sack out of frustration and bitterness. But digital? All I have to do is toss out the bad shots and wonder with the good ones. If you get one, you will take zillions of shots, and you will find some that are magic. I highly recommend it. You will smile!

Unfortunately, the concept has been poorly executed. I found the unique lens intriguing, so I purchased one. I would say that it takes practice like so many other reviews, but if you scout the internet for some quality examples of this product you'll find very few (even on the Lensbaby website). Save the money, the lens will work you more than you work the lens.

Comments about Lensbaby Composer Special Effects SLR Lens - for Canon EF Mount:
Lots of people would argue that the effects could easily be accomplished with post-processing, but this lens is still great since everything about it is manual. If you like playing with manual aperture and focus and are just looking for some fun, then try out this lens! You use this lens as a gadget, rather than a traditional camera lens where IQ matters most.

It takes a little bit to get used to it and how it works but I am more than pleased with this investment.
It was easy to figure out and use, the apature disc system really isn't as tricky as most people make it out to be, and the double glass optic it comes with it quite amazing.
Definitely just what I needed to kickstart my creativity back up. I even love using this lens for video.
Bottom line: If you love to get creative and have fun with your photos, you will NOT regret a lensbaby.

Comments about Lensbaby Composer Special Effects SLR Lens - for Canon EF Mount:
So far, I'm really enjoying the effects this lens produces. Definitely not my everyday lens, but super fun to play with, best if you have time to fiddle. I wish it came with more of a manual, but I have found helpful information online. I do have trouble with lighting on the smaller apertures, but I'm enjoying the learning curve with this thing, and all the fun accessories. The pinhole and macro have been fabulous and I'll try out the fisheye next. I have been loving this lens for portrait. So far, my only complaint is that the system for changing the aperture, while novel, is a pain if you want to switch it up quickly and it would be very easy to lose those little disks if you're not super-careful.

Comments about Lensbaby Composer Special Effects SLR Lens - for Canon EF Mount:
I tried this lens for night outdoor photos to make portraits with selective focus. Performed great with Creative Aperture Kit, but very hard to focus manually and locate the sweet spot in low lighting. Also used it for weekend backyard photos.
Right choice for someone who is new to photography and wants to get understanding of what aperture, focus and frame composition is. Don't buy this lens unless you really enjoy experimenting.

Comments about Lensbaby Composer Special Effects SLR Lens - for Canon EF Mount:
Supposedly there is a "sweet spot" of focus, but It was difficult to see this sweet spot until I looked at it on my monitor screen, and the spot was not where I wanted it. It was unpredictable which would be fine if you were just playing around with it, but I would never count on this product in a professional setting where consistency, reliability and time are factors. I think there are more precise methods to achieving the same appearance. This product is too expensive for a limited application.

Comments about Lensbaby Composer Special Effects SLR Lens - for Canon EF Mount:
Really enjoying this Lensbaby Composer. It works best with contrasts in lighting and color and form. Together with the creative aperture discs, some nice effects are created. I love using it with the Canon 5D Mk II for video. Making the effects live with the action looks cool with people subjects. It's a little tough to move the lens around with handheld, but it can be done. A tripod gives you more stability when moving it around. There is plenty of range in the lens movement from stiffer to locked using the ring close to the camera body. Pans and tilts with video produce some nice effects. If you're not using this with video, you're missing a lot of what makes this sooooo coool.
