Description — Lensbaby Edge 35
The Lensbaby Edge 35 Optic is a 35mm prime, wide angle lens built as a Special Effect optic for mirrorless camera systems. Designed for the Lens Board (Technical Camera) mount used in the Optic Swap System, it gives photographers a dedicated creative tool with a fixed focal length and manual-only control. The f/3.5 maximum aperture offers useful light-gathering performance within its special effect category.
At just 96g, this optic is among the lightest options for large format creative work, and its 46mm filter thread means standard screw-in filters can be added without adapters. With no autofocus and no image stabilization, the Edge 35 Optic is fully manual in operation, placing the creative process entirely in the photographer's hands. Its Large Format lens designation reflects an image circle designed to suit the demands of technical camera systems.
For photographers interested in selective focus, creative wide-angle work, or fine art applications, the Edge 35 Optic offers a precise and deliberate set of optical characteristics.
