Velvet 56 - so versatile!
This lens has been a joy to shoot with! I have been surprised by how versatile it is! You can go from a wonderful blur to very sharp with just a twist of the barrel; even macro! The day after it arrived, I went on a Lensbaby photo walk; got the opportunity to learn from an expert. Good timing.
United StatesI Love This Lens
I am relatively new to DSLR photography, when I retired, I took a summer class at my local Parks and recreation and am enjoying the experience. I have a lot of Canon native glass but wanted to try my hand at some more artful photography and get away from taking tack-sharp in every shot without the use of photo editing software. I discovered Lensbaby a few years ago and am quite pleased with their lenses. The Velvet 56 creates lovely vintage looking photos with a pleasing soft focus. As soon as I opened the box, I knew this lens was something different just by the weight of it in my hand. The focus ring is very smooth, and I absolutely love how the aperture ring indexes in place with a gentle click.
