Overview

The Lensbaby Single Glass Optic is a simple, single-element lens in a flexible housing that allows tilting and focusing by compression. Optically, it produces a very soft image with a small sweet spot of focus surrounded by graduated blur, sharpening when stopped down. Build quality is robust with machined aluminum and a sturdy lens cap, but handling requires manual dexterity to compress and tilt simultaneously. It suits creative photographers seeking dreamy, selective-focus effects, though it is not for sharpness seekers.
