Lensbaby Macro Kit (AMACK)

Lensbabies has launched a set of macro lenses for use with its selective-focus SLR camera lenses, Lensbaby 2.0 and the Original Lensbaby. The macro set consists of one +4 and one +10 macro lens that can be mounted to the front of the Lensbaby lens, allowing photographers to focus in on minute details with eye popping Lensbaby effects.

Lensbaby 2.0 and the Original Lensbaby bring one area of a photo into sharp focus, with that 'sweet spot' surrounded by graduated blur. Photographers can fluidly move the sharp area around the photo by bending the flexible lens tubing. By mounting the +4 or +10 macro lenses (or both at the same time) to the front of the Lensbaby, photographers can use the selective focus effect at very close ranges.

Technical Details :
* + 10 lens allows focus from 3.5" to 5 inches away.
* +4 lens allows focus from 6 inches to 13 inches.
* Stack the +4 lens on top of the +10 lens to focus from 2 inches to 3 inches away.
* Carrying pouch has a pocked for your Lensbaby aperture removal tool.



A Lensbaby without a macro lens has a minimum focus of 16 inches. With the +4 lens attached the focus range is from 6 inches to 13 inches. With the +10 macro lens attached, the focus range is from 3.5 inches to 5 inches. With the +4 and the +10 stacked on each other and mounted to the front of a Lensbaby, focus range is 2 inches to 3 inches.

Customer Feedback :
Macro is such an obvious leap, as macro has always suffered from a shallow depth of field look unless you use incredibly specialized gear. People are used to seeing blur in macro photos. Putting this kit on a Lensbaby allows you to bring a lot of fun to the macro world and get a nice, controlled blur to your shots.
The really nice thing is you still keep your light sensitivity of your 50mm Lensbaby, meaning you get a macro lens that isn't as weak as a typical 100mm+ macro lens when it comes to lighting. Still, I use a flash with my Lensbaby macro shots, and everything comes out great.
