This innovative collection is designed for photographers who desire to delve into the minute details of their subjects, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary with unparalleled precision and creativity.The Composer Pro II, included in this collection, serves as the foundation for the Optic Swap powerhouse optics - the Sweet 80 and Edge 80.

The 12 aperture blades ensure a seamless transition from sharp to soft, making the Sweet 80 Optic a favorite for portrait photographers and anyone pursuing selective focus at a longer focal length. As a member of the Optic Swap System, the Sweet 80 Optic requires a Composer series lens body for use.The Edge 80 Optic is a testament to high-quality, versatile macro photography. This 80mm flat field of focus optic features a 12-blade adjustable aperture and is compatible with all Lensbaby lens bodies. When tilted, it produces a slice of tack-sharp focus bordered by a soft blur, which can be manipulated by adjusting the aperture and tilt direction. The Edge 80 also includes a special close-focus feature, allowing photographers to focus as close as 17" from their subject, and can be further enhanced with the Lensbaby Macro Converter for even closer shots.
