Here is some good news for those fond of Lensbaby. The company just announced its newest addition to its optic swap system and it will be better and won’t have to operate in its usual selective focus. The Fisheye optic is the first optic added to Lensbaby’s system but users would need an adapter to use the gadget with either Control Freak or Muse. Those who use Composer should not worry though because you’d be good to go once you got the Fisheye.

This optic system has 12mm focal length and it is not only powerful but has a rather nice design as well. Those who will be buying the new Lensbaby will be able to take pictures from a 160° angle. Apart from that, you can even focus the lens on anything at a distance of merely an inch. Do not worry about how far the distance the lenses can cover though because according to reviews of the Fisheye Optic, the lens is powerful enough to go as far as 2 kilometers -some even say up to infinity. There is no need to break the bank if you want to get a hold of this gadget because it is sold at $149.95, not budget but surely a great investment for photographers and photography enthusiasts.

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.
