"If we got stranded on a desert island with only one lens, we might make it this one (with the possible addition of a wide-angle adapter). It's light, versatile, sharp (when you want it to be) and really fun to use." - Photojojo.com
No two eyes are exactly the same - especially when they belong to an artist who sees for a living. Given these infinite possibilities, Lensbaby offers three distinctly different lens bodies for different types of shooters.
Each lens gets you to the same place: a Sweet Spot of sharp focus surrounded by graduated blur. But each one gets you there in a way that reflects your individual personality and shooting style. Are you fast and loose? Smooth and precise? Methodical and step-by-step? Your first decision is: which Lensbaby has your name on it?

Great for a Smooth and Fluid Shooting Style: The Composer is a completely new lens based on a ball and socket configuration that delivers smooth selective focus photography with unparalleled ease. All you need to do is tilt the lens to a desired angle and then focus with a manual focusing ring. No locking mechanism is required; the Composer stays in the desired bent position to give you that Sweet Spot of Focus.
Available for: Canon, Nikon, Sony α and Olympus Four Third cameras.

SCOUT™ WITH FISHEYE
 |
Scout with Fisheye, a fun and affordable manual focus Fisheye SLR camera lens, is available in mounts for all popular SLR camera bodies. Scout, the first Lensbaby lens that does not bend, features the Fisheye Optic, which delivers an ultra-wide 12mm focal length capable of capturing a 160° angle of view from infinity all the way down to 1/2-inch from the front of the lens. The Fisheye Optic can also create unique flare effects in an image. The Scout with Fisheye ships with the Fisheye Optic installed, but photographers can use other Lensbaby Optic Swap System optics such as Soft Focus, Pinhole/Zone Plate, Double Glass, Single Glass and Plastic. With Lensbaby's selective focus optics, the sweet spot of focus will always be centered in the photo.

Double Glass Optic This multi-coated optical glass doublet is Lenbaby's most popular optic, providing a tack-sharp Sweet Spot of focus with minimum diffusion at all aperture settings.
Single Glass Optic This optic is similar to the primitive optic that you'll find in an antique camera. Single Glass Optic is ideal for fine art, portraiture, black-and-white images, and any shot requiring a subtle, soft, dreamy effect.
Plastic Optic Ideal for toy camera- and plastic-fanatics, this softest optic in Lensbaby's line-up creates very ethereal photos with abundant chromatic aberration.
Pinhole / Zone Plate As its name suggests, this optic lets you create pinhole or zone plate photos. In either mode, you capture softer focus, dreamy images that are equally sharp from edge to edge. You decide how far to go into that dreamland.
