Create unique-looking photos with the selective-focus SOL 45mm f/3.5 Lens from Lensbaby for Canon RF-mount cameras. With 8.5° of tilt, this lens lets you easily isolate a subject within the frame and surround it in blur and smooth bokeh. The lens also features a center-locking feature that will lock the lens into place for dead-center focus. Furthering its creative potential are two adjustable bokeh blades that can add slight lines or textures to bokeh. This manual-focus lens also has an all-metal construction and accepts 46mm filters.

Lensbaby Sol 45mm f/3.5 Reviews
Love it
I bought this on a whim thinking it would enhance some nature photography shots of flowers. Being winter, I've been shooting other subjects and I'm loving how the lens can be used to direct the viewer's focus to a specific region of the photo. While I thought my use of this lens would be very limited, I'm finding that experimenting with a wide range of subjects is yielding very good and very interesting results. (though I keep hearing do you know your photos are blurry?). I'm still experimenting and can't wait till spring, but this lens is a very welcome addition.
Forget Bokeh, This Effect is Magic!
I purchased the Sol 45 to force me out of my auto focus comfort zone and to have a little fun. It did both and did so better than expected! I mounted it to a Canon R5 and went to the County Fair with a willing subject to find some magic. The focus ring has large movement for small chance so it allowed me to easily dial in to the exact spot I wanted. The results were spectacular. The blur alone added a remarkable amount of depth and motion but with the blades pushed inward, the lines create a subtle framing of the focus spot that mimics long-exposure camera-shake while the center is tack sharp. The depth delivered in black and white was more than I expected as well. I'll be ordering the wider Sol soon.

Estoy enamorada de mi lente
Excellent Quality Lens
Easy to use and the quality of the images is excellent. I great lens to add to your collection of lenses.
One of the best Lensbabies
This is a great little lens, it's one of the easiest Lensbabies to learn. I use it on my Nikon Df because the combination gives a retro look to my images.
Fun lens
I've enjoyed playing with this lens, and am thrilled with the pictures. There is a bit of a learning curve. I initially thought it would not work but I just had to change the settings to allow the camera to take a picture without a lens. I almost gave up before discovering that secret.
Love This Lens!
I recently purchased the Velvet 56 for my Canon 90D and was thrilled with the results. What I really like about the SOL 45 is that if you do not need to step down to 5.6 and higher, fixed at 3.5 will produce sharp images in the center and dreamy on the edges. Superb construction and very small! The price is a real bargain for a product of this high quality! You must use Live View and focus tweaking to get the best images. The small focus ring in the front is easy to use once you practice using it. This lens is like carrying a special effects lab on the front of your camera!
Super Compact, Fun, and Beautiful Effect Lens
If you love everything about Lensbaby lenses, this should be on top of the list! This is my second Lensbaby product and it's not at all disappointing! If you follow through how to use Lensbaby in general with manual focus, this is super easy to adapt and the bokeh is simply beautiful.
