Lensbaby Composer Pro II with Double Glass II Optic - Micro Four Thirds

Its primary benefit is the ability to create a selective focus effect, where a sharp point of focus can be moved around the frame, surrounded by a smooth blur, for artistic control.

The lens features a 12-blade internal aperture system controlled by drop-in magnetic aperture discs. You swap these discs to change the aperture size (f-stop).

It can be used by beginners, but it requires manual focus and a deliberate approach to tilt and focus, which may take some practice to master.

The Composer Pro II is the lens body that allows you to tilt and focus. It is paired here with the Double Glass II optic.

Yes, the manual focus and creative depth of field control can be very effective for video, especially for artistic or cinematic looks, provided your camera supports manual focus video.

The aperture range is from f/2.5 to f/22, controlled by the magnetic aperture discs.

This model is specifically compatible with cameras featuring the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount.

Ensure the lens is properly mounted and that you are using manual focus. Adjust the lens elements and tilt to achieve a sharp focus point. Check that the aperture is not set too wide for the desired focus distance.

Ensure the magnetic aperture discs are aligned correctly and firmly in place. Do not force the discs; they should attach magnetically.

Confirm that your camera has a Micro Four Thirds mount. Ensure there are no obstructions on the lens mount or camera mount.

Experiment with different tilt angles of the Composer Pro II body and various aperture settings. The 'sweet spot' of focus is influenced by both.
