Ball-and-Socket Tilt Mechanism: The Composer Pro II's articulating mount lets you tilt the optic in any direction to position the sharp 'sweet spot' of focus anywhere in the frame.
Sweet 80 Optic: The interchangeable 80mm Sweet optic produces a circular zone of sharpness that blends into a characteristic radial blur toward the edges of the image.
f/2.8 Maximum Aperture: A wide maximum aperture strengthens subject separation and intensifies the lens's signature selective focus effect.
80mm Prime Focal Length: The telephoto perspective flatters portrait and detail subjects while keeping a comfortable working distance between photographer and subject.
Interchangeable Optic System: The Composer Pro II body accepts other Lensbaby optics, allowing the same lens housing to be used for different creative effects.

Description — Lensbaby Sweet 80 Optic
The Lensbaby Composer Pro II with Sweet 80 Optic is an 80mm prime special effect lens that gives photographers hands-on creative control over where sharpness falls within the frame. With a maximum aperture of f/2.8 and manual focus only, this lens rewards a slower, more intentional shooting approach. It is built for full-frame coverage and is compatible with Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, Micro Four Thirds, and Fujifilm X mounts, making it one of the more versatile options in its category.
The lens accepts 46mm filters, and its 161.6g weight keeps the overall kit light. Falling into the telephoto focal length range, the 80mm perspective is well-suited to portraits and detail-oriented work where the selective focus effect can be most impactful. With no image stabilization, shooters will want to be mindful of their technique, but for the creative photographer drawn to this style of lens, that is rarely a dealbreaker.
