Description: With the Composer, Lensbaby introduces a completely new lens, based on a ball and
socket configuration that delivers smooth selective focus photography with unparalleled
ease. The new Composer retains its position after being bent and is easy to use even with
one hand. Photographers no longer have to squeeze the lens to focus, but can simply tilt the
lens to a desired angle and then focus with a traditional barrel focusing ring. The Composer
stays in the desired bent position without requiring a locking mechanism and features the
new Lensbaby Optic Swap System.
The Composer features a unique manual focus design which requires more rotation to move
the optic as you approach infinity. This makes it easier to focus on objects at intermediate
and distant depths than regular manual focus lenses.
How To Use:
The Composer is a breeze to use. Simply bend the lens to move the Sweet Spot and focus
with the Composer's unique barrel focus mechanism, which automatically dampens the focus
action as you approach infinity.
The Composer stays in its bent position without needing to be locked. If you want to ensure
the Composer will not move during an extended shooting session, you can lock the lens's
position by rotating the locking ring. This locking feature makes the Composer the ideal
Lensbaby lens for studio photography or for any situation where you want longer or
repeated exposures.
