A bright normal-length lens with a unique tilting design, the Canon EF-mount 50mm f/2.5 Sweet Spot Spark Lens from Lensbaby affords you extensive control over selective focus effects for producing creative images in-camera. Compared to the original Lensbaby Spark, this dedicated optic is notably faster and offers an adjustable aperture range from f/2.5 to f/22 for controlling how large the sweet spot of focus is. The distinct tilting lens body also allows you to position your area of focus about the scene in order to draw attention to off-center subjects and dramatically blur away other portions of the image. The lens itself is a multi-coated glass doublet, which produces the distinctly sharp yet ethereal image quality Lensbabies are known for, and the flexible housing permits manual focusing on subjects as close as 9" away.

I can't get it off my Nikon d600. It turns and is a little loose at the point where it should come out, but it won't. Any ideas?
Got it off. Just had to wiggle/pull very hard. looks like the fit to the nikon mount wasn't very good. I won't try again....frank j

question
Is this a BHPhoto exclusive product, or is discontinued? I cannot find any info about this product on any other websites, including the LensBaby site. I can only find information about the 50mm that has a fixed aperture of 5.6.
This is a special lens we made for B&H. It's our Spark lens with a Sweet 50 Optic installed.

question
Do you have to squeeze the lens to focus (this was mentioned in a review)? How is this lens operated? If squeezing is needed, how much pressure is needed? I have some issues with my hands which would make holding the lens and squeezing it at the same time difficult - but it looks like a great lens!
Honestly, I find it too difficult to operate as well. It's a great idea, poor implementation. You'll have to squeeze constantly to keep focus, with both hands, meaning there's some hand yoga going on to hit the shutter button.
