Lensbaby Velvet 28
This lens is excellent! You can get as close as you want to your subject, superior macro capabilities. Creating different looks as you open and close the aperture gives you multitudes of options. When I shoot macro, I use all the apertures, then choose from a wide range of files depending upon the editing process I'm working in.
United StatesMuch better than expected.
I have the Velvet 85 for M4/3 and just love it. I had been wanting something wider and decided to go full opposite. I love how close I can get and how well the Velvet effect gives that ethereal water color look to images. The 85 has a sweet spot, when distances are in that zone, the Velvet effect shines. So far, the 28 seems to apply it well at all distances, you just don’t get that background compression (to be expected). I find my 85mm inspires me to go for impressionistic shots, while the 28 has me seeking water color.
