Lensbaby Edge 35 Optic
Key Features
  • 35mm Selective Focus Optic
  • Aperture Range: f/3.5 to f/22
  • Lensbaby Optic Swap System
  • For Use with Additional Lens Body
Characterized by its flat field design and distinct slice of focus, the Edge 35 Optic is a 35mm f/3.5 lens for the Lensbaby Optic Swap System. Designed for use with a tilting Lens Body, this optic's merits lie in its unique optical design that can render an overall sharp and clean effect or, when tilted, produce a dramatic area of focus surrounded by a smooth, blurred border. The aperture range helps to control the slice of focus and eight diaphragm blades contribute to a smooth bokeh quality to suit the selective focus look. Additionally, the lens construction uses nine elements in six groups, and each of the glass elements is multi-coated to resist flare and ghosting for contrast-rich, color-accurate images.

Lensbaby Edge 35 Overview

Characterized by its flat field design and distinct slice of focus, the Edge 35 Optic is a 35mm f/3.5 lens for the Lensbaby Optic Swap System. Designed for use with a tilting Lens Body, this optic's merits lie in its unique optical design that can render an overall sharp and clean effect or, when tilted, produce a dramatic area of focus surrounded by a smooth, blurred border. The aperture range helps to control the slice of focus and eight diaphragm blades contribute to a smooth bokeh quality to suit the selective focus look. Additionally, the lens construction uses nine elements in six groups, and each of the glass elements is multi-coated to resist flare and ghosting for contrast-rich, color-accurate images.

Part of the Lensbaby Optic Swap System, this optic requires an additional Lensbaby Lens Body, such as the Composer or Composer II, for use.
Wide-angle 35mm f/3.5 lens provides a comfortable, broad, and natural field of view.
Flat field rendering delivers a high degree of sharpness and, when tilted in the Composer, 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/3.5 to f/22 aperture range allows you to control the width of the slice of focus.
Offers a minimum focusing distance of 7" along with a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:5 to suit working with close-up subjects.
An eight-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth, pleasing bokeh quality.
Lens construction uses nine glass elements in six groups, and each of the elements are multi-coated to resist flare and ghosting for increased contrast and color accuracy.

Lensbaby Edge 35 Reviews

New glasses

Purchased the Edge 35 a year ago and ultimately returned. Found that I missed it, & liked it better than the Sweet 50 I also own.Repurchased recently (while on sale!).. There is a learning curve. The width of the zone of focus varies with the aperture. Easiest to focus with the wider apertures which cause the zone of focus vs non-focus to be more obvious. This optic helps me find new subjects & opportunities on daily aalks in my area.

Great optic

This is an optic in the Lensbaby line I have been waiting for, I have the Edge50 and Edge80, and I have not been disappointed. I have used it several times since I received it and have gotten great results. It has increased the depth of my creative bag of lenses.

what’s the difference with this product and lensbaby composer pro ll with edge 35 optic?Can it be used on Sony E mount?
Asked by: Jiahao
Hi Jiahao, The difference between this product and the Lensbaby Composer Pro ll with Edge 35 Optic is that this product is for someone who already owns the Composer Pro II lens body. You need a Composer Pro II to make this product work with any camera. If you are new to the Lensbaby Optic swap system, you'd want to purchase the Lensbaby Composer Pro ll with Edge 35 Optic for Sony E mount!

Is Lensbaby Edge 35 Optic compatible with Beastgrip Pro Smartphone Lens Adapter?
Asked by: Ariel
We've never heard of anyone using one with the Beastgrip system, but I'd imagine in theory with the DOF adapter it would be possible. You may have to do some experimenting and there may be some limitations with the tilting features.
