Lensbabies

Lensbabies leverer optikk der hensikten er å komme bort fra de perfekte bildene som moderne digitalkamera leverer. Konseptet er basert på en fleksibel linse som gjør det mulig å endre fokusplan. Fokusereringen skjer ved å dra eller skyve på linsa. Ved hjelp av utbyttbare blenderringer kan man variere mellom blender 2.0, 2.8, 4.0, 5.6 eller 8.0 og dermed påvirke dybdeskarpheten.

Fra pressemeldingen:
Lensbaby 2.0 and The Original Lensbaby bring one area of a photo into sharp focus, with that ?sweet spot? surrounded by graduated blur, glowing highlights, and subtle prismatic color distortions. Photographers can fluidly move the sharp area around the photo by bending the flexible lens tubing.

Lensbaby 2.0 features an f2.0 aperture setting in addition to The Original Lensbaby?s f2.8, f4.0, f5.6 and f8.0. With Lensbaby 2.0, a photographer can control the size of the sweet spot of sharp focus by changing the apertures. The brighter the aperture, the smaller the sweet spot of focus and the greater the amount of graduated blurring in the photo?s surrounding area.

Lensbaby 2.0 also features a coated, high refractive index, low dispersion optical glass doublet instead of the singled uncoated optical glass element in The Original Lensbaby.
