Lensbaby Twist of Velvet Pro Lens Kit for Sony E

Description

The Lensbaby Twist of Velvet Pro Lens Kit for Sony E includes three of our most popular lenses – the Velvet 85, Burnside 35, and Twist 60 – all in a custom Lensbaby printed Nanuk 910 hard case.

Create soulful portraits with our Velvet 85 art lens. Use this 85mm f/1.8 lens to create impressionistic masterpieces with a velvety glow at bright apertures, straight out of camera. Use darker apertures to bypass glow and make images with a crisp, film-like aesthetic. Building on the strengths of our bestselling Velvet 56 lens, Velvet 85 combines lustrous skin tones with the added compression and buttery smooth bokeh found in the best 85mm portrait lenses. Use its macro capabilities to capture significant details with new life. The Velvet 85 design features a solid heft and smooth, dampened manual focus.

Use the f/2.8 Burnside 35 lens to set your work apart. Create images with a bright central area of sharp focus and striking color rendition — surrounded by subtle, swirling bokeh and vignette. With its wide 35mm focal length, Burnside 35 gives you a wide to normal view of a scene. Use this classic focal length to create stunning street and environmental portrait photos. The swirly bokeh and vignette give you added control to direct the viewer’s eye to the most important part of the photo. For landscape photographers, Burnside 35 gives you the ability to try something new and experiment with swirling bokeh, painterly edge softness, and vignette – while being versatile enough to let you capture more traditional landscape imagery as well.

Free your subjects from their background with delicious twisty, swirly blur with the f/2.5 60mm Twist 60 lens. Twist 60’s vignette calls further attention to anything you place within the large central area of focus, for a timeless, vintage look. True to an 1840 design by Joseph Petzval, this lens reveals striking separation between subjects and their background, a quality that modern lens designs lack. Twist 60 is a metal-bodied, non-tilting lens and is recommended for use on full frame cameras only.

Features

• Short telephoto portrait-length lens is designed for full-frame Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras, however it can also be used with APS-C models where it provides a 127.5mm equivalent focal length.

• Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture affords greater control over depth of field for working with shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques, and also benefits working in low-light conditions.

• Inspired by classic portrait lenses from the mid-20th century, this lens is designed to produce an ethereal glowing quality with soft, smooth tonality that is well-suited to portraiture.

• Softness can be controlled by stopping-down the lens: when stopped-down to f/16, the image exhibits a smooth quality with greater central sharpness.
