"This lens will definitely do it for macro and nature photographers. The halation gives such a beautiful softness, yet dimension at the same time. It is truly magical. "
Victoria Hederer Bell
""I am IN LOVE with this lens! The thing that makes me most excited, and the reason I never want to take it off my camera, is the way it jumps from macro to far away shooting. I adore it!"

United StatesIt has been fantastic to use. Very artistic pictures.
United KingdomIts beautiful ! I have been out more with the camera over the last week because of this bad boy ! Love it.
United StatesThis is a great lens and very easy to use.
United StatesOverall, I'm thrilled with Velvet 56. I removed it from the box and immediately started shooting with it. The first two shots were okay. By the third shot I had captured an incredibly ethereal image of a butterfly floating around the bloom of a Chaste tree. Absolutely beautiful. All created in camera. This lens is amazing.
United StatesReally love pictures from this lens. Sadly, I had to return it. I am a disabled senior lady. Unfortunately, it was just too big and heavy for me to be able to use it.
United StatesI am having so much fun getting used to my Velvet 56. I love it! Been shooting a lot of flowers.
United StatesAs a sports and real estate photographer I was totally skeptical about this strange looking and extremely affordable lens! I decided to participate in a macro course and the teacher recommended it. Ok, worth a try. This is the least expensive lens I have ever purchased. I received from LensBaby with in 3 days. Its great quality, solid and nice to wirk with. There is something freeing about using this lens. It was fun. This lens got me to discover, experience, slowdown and see.
United StatesI couldn't be happier with this lens. So versatile which is important to me. Lensbaby customer service is also top-notch!
AustriaVery easy to use, like the results
NorwayI have been using it for a couple of days, and I love it already. I have studied videos on Youtube, and learned about the Lensbaby 56. It really redeemed my expectations! The only thing (not very important), I personally didn't like the silver version that I got.
United StatesThe first two weeks of using the Lensbaby velvet 56 on my Sony a6500 has been a learning but enjoyable experience. Love the soft glow effect obtained when using it at f2 to around f4.5. One feature that would be great to have with this lens would be a zoom capability when setting up to take a still life picture or even landscape settings. This would be helpful to us seniors who don’t have the best eye site in our years.
United StatesStill getting used to the range of options in using this lens, but having a lot of fun doing so.
United StatesI love that the photos are so beautiful right out of the camera! Very little if any editing which I love - I don’t want to spend my time editing! Having so much fun!
United StatesFor the short time that I own this Lens baby and have the opportunity to play with it, my overall experience is very good.
United StatesMy new ‘baby has only been in my hands for a couple of days, but I can tell it’s going to become one of my go to lenses! Absolutely worth the long wait, delayed by COVID.... shocker! Huge shout out to all at Lensbaby for keeping me informed!
United StatesI’m just getting started but I’m looking forward to learning this lens better. Works perfectly right out of the box. I love the rich, velvety smooth glow. I’m hooked.
