I am very happy with my Lensbaby Velvet 56. I can see that it is going to take my photographic creativity to a whole new level. Dee
United StatesGreat lens!
I spent a day shooting fall flowers and foliage with the Velvet and discovered Lensbaby’s customer service really does call back within 30 minutes! I adjusted my Canon R6 settings to allow shutter release without lens and the fun began! I found the larger the aperture, the more velvet effect. Great addition to my gear!
