Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description
The Lensbaby 3G SLR lens for Canon SLR Cameras combines an old-fashioned bellows camera with an up-tight tilt-shift lens, and the 3G allows photographers to lock the Lensbaby in a desired bent position simply by pressing a button. Then, using a traditional barrel focus mechanism, you can do fine focusing and precisely place the sweet spot of sharp focus before pressing the shutter release. Lensbaby selective focus SLR camera lenses take photos with one area in sharp focus, with that sweet spot surrounded by graduated blur. You can move the sweet spot of sharp focus anywhere in the photo by bending the flexible lens tubing.

The Lensbaby 3G features the same low dispersion, high refractive index, multi-coated optical glass doublet and the same flexible tubing as Lensbaby 2.0, but adds three focusing rails that emerge from the camera mount and pass through the focusing collar. A trigger button on the focusing collar releases three pins that engage the focusing rails and lock Lensbaby 3G in a bent position. Once Lensbaby 3G is locked into place, additional fine focus can be achieved by turning the barrel focusing ring, which moves the optic in and out like a normal manual focus lens. Also, in the locked position, you can make small adjustments to the placement of the sweet spot of focus by turning any combination of the three focusing rails.

While the Lensbaby 2.0 is a good choice for fluid, photojournalistic shots, the Lensbaby 3G plays well with pros who require precise focusing, complete control, and repeatability. Other features include:

  • Focal length: About 50mm
  • Minimum focus: 12 inches
  • Apertures: f2, f2.8, f4, f5.6, f8, f11, f16, f22
  • Aperture type: Interchangeable levitating aperture disks
  • Automatic light metering is possible by shooting in aperture priority mode for almost all digital and film SLR camera bodies

What's in the Box
Lensbaby 3G Selective Focus SLR Lens, metal lens cap, aperture discs, disc removal tool

Product Description
Lensbabies selective focus SLR camera lenses bring one area of your photo into sharp focus, with that sweet spot surrounded by graduated blur. You can move the sweet spot to any part of your photo by bending the flexible lens tubing.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Lensbaby 3G is the coolest tool in your camera bag., November 20, 2007
By mauigir1 (Lahaina, HI United States) - See all my reviews
While it isn't for everyone, the Lensbaby 3G brings back a little of the soft and ethereal to digital photography. The selective focus sweet spot gets larger with smaller apertures, deliciously small with the wider ones. With my Canon 20D set to aperture priority, the light meter is able to calculate the correct exposure even though the lens does not electronically communicate with the camera. Often used for portraits and wedding photography (check the galleries at lensbabies.com), I like it for product shots that pop when everything else in the shot fades away. I love this lens.

5.0 out of 5 stars This thing rocks!, December 9, 2007
By S. Prokes (Fort Collins, CO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
One of my complaints about the digital world (while I shot and enjoy it) is that it is predictable. This can lead to some pretty uncreative photography. I love how the Lensbaby puts creativity, experimentation, and the random back into photography. It is wonderful. If you are willing to let go of some control and have some fun, the baby is for you. Two thumbs up!

5.0 out of 5 stars This puts the fun in photography!!, May 13, 2008
By B. Thompson "nekid Twister champion" (Hot, humid Florida (but there is NO snow)) - See all my reviews
I saw this at Photoshop World and was totally intrigued. It has a slight learning curve, but be patient and you'll be fully rewarded! Even tho you can be fancy schmancy with photo's, my little point and shoot ran out of juice this past week at Disney World, so I just switched out a few little bits on the LB and was able to take regular photo's as well. Service from the LB folks is great just as well and be sure to check out their website as there is a whole community of "benders" willing to share with you.
