Lensbaby Velvet 56mm f/1.6

Inspired by classical lenses from the 20th century, the Canon EF-compatible Lensbaby Velvet 56mm f/1.6 lens offers a soft and radiant imaging effect ideal for creative and dreamlike portraiture. This lens' distinct softness can be modified by adjusting the aperture, ensuring the preservation of the delicate tonality associated with soft focus lenses, even when narrowed down. Optimized for use with full-frame sensors, this lens' slightly extended focal length is complemented by a large f/1.6 maximum aperture, enhancing performance in dim light and facilitating a shallow depth of field with adjustable clarity. With its 1:2 magnification ratio and 5-inch minimum working distance, macro photography is also within reach. The lens is encased in a sleek black metal barrel, equipped with a manual focus mechanism that ensures precise and thoughtful focusing. The Velvet 56mm f/1.6 by Lensbaby harmonizes classic imagery with modern control, offering a dynamic instrument for soft-focus photography.
