Overview

The Lensbaby Sol 45 is a fixed f/3.5 manual-focus tilt lens with a metal build and compact size. It produces a dreamy, selective-focus look with unique bokeh, but the in-focus area is small and can be tricky to identify. The lens is surprisingly sharp in focus areas, though the lack of interchangeable apertures is a drawback. It is best suited for creative portrait or narrative work, not as a general-purpose lens.
