Description — Lensbaby Twist 60
The Lensbaby Composer Pro II with Twist 60 Optic is a 60mm prime special effect lens built for creative and portrait photography. With a maximum aperture of f/2.5 and manual focus only operation, it gives photographers complete hands-on control over their images. The lens is rated for full frame coverage and is offered across six mount options: Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony E, Micro Four Thirds, Fujifilm X, and Pentax K, making it one of the more universally compatible specialty lenses available.
At just 96.4g, it adds minimal weight to your bag, and its 46mm filter thread means standard filters can be attached without adapters. There is no image stabilization, so a steady hand or support is recommended, especially at wider apertures. Designed for the DSLR camera system category, the Composer Pro II body provides the tilt-based focus mechanism that defines the Lensbaby system, enabling a shifting plane of focus that produces the distinctive selective rendering this lens is known for.
