Although the concept may seem recursive, Lensbaby offers SLR photographers mountable lenses that transform your DSLR into a powerful Instagram-style shooter. Photo editing apps like Instagram have helped popularized the lomography movement with its subtle filters and space-changing effects.
While sharpness and clarity are usually top-priority for pros, there comes a time when soft, blurred scenes add a dynamic twist to a photo. Lensbaby lenses are equipped with ball-and-socket fixtures that allow photographers to blur and bend the focus swiftly. If you are looking for a soft vintage outcome, the single-glass optic offers the ideal hazy capture. But if fish-eye is what you crave, Lensbaby just released its 'Scout' model, which bears that perfectly distorted bubble-look.
Get in touch with your creative side with the peculiar lensbaby mountable systems.
