Bundling a host of creative lenses and optics ideal for making unique portraits, this Creative Portrait Kit from Lensbaby is designed for Canon EF-mount DSLRs. The kit includes a Composer Pro II along with an Edge 80 Optic, a Sweet 50 Optic, and the Twist 60 Optic with Straight Body, as well as a 14 x 14" lens cleaning cloth and a System Bag for protecting and storing the whole kit.
Specifically designed to produce creative selective focus effects, the Composer Pro II with Edge 80 Optic from Lensbaby pairs the 80mm f/2.8 optic with a lens body for Canon EF-mount cameras. The Edge 80 is a unique lens, which affords a distinct sharp sliver of focus surrounded by a smoothly blurred background. When coupled with the Composer Pro II, this slice of focus can be moved anywhere within the image area and changed in dimension, using up to 15° of tilt on the lens body. The optic also features a manual aperture for adjusting the size of the in-focus area and has a 12-blade diaphragm to further contribute to a smooth bokeh quality in the out-of-focus regions. The lens is constructed with five glass elements in four groups, and each of the elements are multicoated to resist flare and ghosting for high contrast, color-accurate imagery.
- Portrait-length 80mm f/2.8 lens provides a comfortable, slightly narrow field of view that is well-suited to isolating subject matter.
- Flat field rendering delivers a high degree of sharpness and, when tilted in the Composer II, a dramatic slice of focus is produced that is bordered by a smooth and even blur to isolate subjects with selective focus.
- Besides adjusting exposure, the f/2.8 to f/22 aperture range allows you to control the size of the sweet spot of focus.
- A 12-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth, pleasing bokeh quality.
- Lens construction uses five glass elements in four groups, and each of the elements are multi-coated to resist flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color accuracy.
- Canon EF lens mount
- Enables tilting the optic up to 15° to vary the amount and position of the sweet spot of focus

- Metal body for improved durability and rigidity
The Lensbaby Sweet 50 Optic is made for use with the Composer Pro, which can be bought separately, or used interchangeably with the Sweet 50 if you own it already with a different optic. It is a selective focus lens that uses a curved field of focus optic to create a blurred effect around the focus spot.
The 50mm focal length lens has two multi-coated glass elements in one group, and an aperture range of f/2.5 to f/22. The 12-blade internal aperture is easily controlled via a ring on the front of the optic. The sharp sweet spot of focus can be moved within the frame by tilting the Composer Pro's ball-and-socket joint. The size of the sweet spot is also controlled by changing the aperture.
Draw attention to your subject by creating a smooth subtle swirl to your edges with the Lensbaby Fixed Body with Twist 60 Optic available here with a Canon EF mount. This optic is compatible with the Optic Swap System and performs best when used with the included straight body. This full-frame 60mm f/2.5 lens features an internal 12-blade diaphragm for smooth out-of-focus areas. You can manually change the aperture from f/2.5 to f/22 utilizing the dial on the front of the lens and you can manually focus on subjects as close as 18".
When shooting at a wider aperture, the Twist 60's swirled effect places more emphasis on your centered subject in full focus. As you stop down, the center area gets larger allowing you to bring more of your image into exact focus. The Twist 60 offers 46mm front threads for any filters you would like to use to further enhance your image.
The Twist 60 works best and is recommended for use with full frame cameras. Much of the swirled blur gets lost when using the optic with an APS-C sensor.
