New creative optics for mirrorless cameras
A new Lensbaby compact camera lens gives 3 focus options.
10.5.2016
Lensbaby has announced another new lens, the Trio 28, specifically designed for mirroless cameras to give the photographer three selective focus optics in one compact lens.
By rotating a dial you can access Lensbaby’s most popular optical effects: Twist, Velvet, or Sweet. Twist gives you a large sharp central area of focus surrounded by twisty, swirling bokeh. Velvet has a sharp central area of focus with a delicate glow from edge-to-edge. Sweet creates a sharp central sweet spot of focus surrounded by gradually increasing blur.
“Trio 28 offers a revolutionary shooting experience for mirrorless shooters,” says Lensbaby Co-Founder and CEO Craig Strong. "This is the first lens we’ve designed specifically with the mirrorless camera’s small form factor in mind.
“Our goal is to help photographers discover their unique visual voice through the creative freedom our lenses offer,” Strong says. “With a variety of selective focus effects in a compact lens designed for the small form factor of mirrorless cameras, Trio 28 goes above and beyond, helping us reach this goal. We can’t wait to see what photographers create with it.”
The Trio 28 will be available for purchase in October 2016.
