For the best shooting experience, use 35mm or longer focal length lenses. When shooting on all focal length lenses, especially those wider than 35mm, choose bright apertures to ensure the most natural looking creative effects.
OMNI includes three unique Effect Wands that attach magnetically and distort the light as it enters the lens – creating a myriad of magical in-camera effects.
OMNI is designed to fit most prime and zoom lenses on the market - both auto and manual focus. It is also compatible with Lensbaby Velvet 56, Velvet 85, and Burnside 35 lenses only. It is available in Small and Large versions. The included step-up/step down rings allow you to mount the OMNI creative Filter System on a range of different sized lenses. Before purchasing, make sure you know the lens thread size of the lens or lenses you'll use with OMNI.
Small
Native size: 58mm
Step up/down rings: 49mm, 52mm, 55mm
Large
Native size: 77mm
Step up/down rings: 62mm, 67mm, 72mm, 82mm
Your filter thread size should be marked on your lens by a ø symbol. For example, if you see a ø62, then your lens has a filter thread size of 62mm. If you can’t find it you can always use a ruler to measure the diameter of the filter thread to determine the size you need (this guideshows you how). Or, try googling, for example: “Canon 85mm f/1.8 thread size”.
Yes, you can if you have step-down rings that go from 77mm (the native size of the Large ring) to whatever your smaller lens filter thread size is.
OMNI can be used on most prime and zoom lenses with both auto and manual focus, as well as full frame and crop sensor cameras.
OMNI is compatible with Velvet 56, Velvet 85 and Burnside 35 only.
We can confidently say that the magnets used in the OMNI Creative Filter System will not damage any of your camera gear. Most newer cameras, SD cards, phones, and computers have solid state hard drives which magnets do not affect. Our magnets, while strong enough to support the OMNI system, are not nearly the strongest magnetic camera accessory on the market. Magmod, makers of magnetic camera accessories, sharedthis great article and video demonstrating how and why magnetic accessories won’t harm your gear.
Please note that there are some older devices (unrelated to camera gear) that can be affected by magnets, including credit cards, pacemakers, older TVs, older hard drives, and speakers. However, OMNI’s thick felt pouch should shield anything else in your bag (credit cards, etc) from these adverse effects.
The OMNI Creative Filter System contains a filter wrench to help you remove if this occurs.
