Lensbaby: Control Freak

Anyone interested in experimental photography should definitely know about Lensbaby and their line of unique optics. Pictured here is the “Control Freak” which was set to have been released already, but the date has been pushed back. Some speculate that the earliest the lens will be available is September. The lenses currently available, however, are not disappointing in the least. Lensbabies allow the user to bend, tilt, and tweak the lenses in certain ways so as to achieve tunnel vision, blurs, and numerous other eye-catching movements within an image. Lensbabies are a bit pricey as non-standard lenses go, but the one-of-a-kind effects they create could be well worth it for experimental enthusiasts.  Head on over to the Lensbaby gallery for further convincing: Lensbaby gallery.

    Beautiful portrait photo. The subject really pops from what would otherwise be a very distracting background.

    Latest report is that the Control Freak will be available in October or November.

    I actually own this lens and wasn’t aware that it hasn’t come out yet. I bought it from my friend 5 months ago who is a film major and had an extra one. I should probably ask him where he got it…

    I took a similar portrait picture like this with my lensbaby control freak.
