Lensbaby Co-Founder Craig Strong Talks All Things Double Glass II

What does extraordinary creative freedom mean to you as a photographer? Our mission is to give photographers the tools to move through their fear of shame, judgement, guilt, and being a part of the status quo. Photography isn't about fitting in. Photography is about discovery, risk, getting out of the box, saying no to what everyone else is doing and being EXTRAORDINARY as defined by you.

We believe that creativity isn't about what THEY do. Photography is about what YOU want to do!

Could you possibly tell me the difference between double glass ii, sweet, and creative bokeh optic? Is there any point in buying all 3?

[BrianHalePhoto]

I actually emailed you (lensbaby) years ago trying to track down another Double Glass optic as mine got scuffed banging around in one of those plastic case things but they were discontinued. I bought the recommended newer "creative bokeh" optic but there was just something different about it.
This looks sweet with the aperture built in.

Just picked up mine this week. Already took it out out here in San Francisco for a trial run and I'm loving the results. Question - can you use the drop-in apertures on other optics besides the 50mm that came with the kit?

[badmatt]

7:05 Drop in apertures with shapes. Mixing up 3 shapes is not infinite options. This is 18 options.
I remember Lensbaby had an amazing fisheye lens.

Do these optics have filter threads for typical filters? If so, what size?

[abhishekvsmalyala]

Cool!! This is a sweet 50 with additional drop in creative aperture kit? I did really enjoy the video- the magnetism magic line did make me laugh 😂

Public Service Announcement. Lensbaby lenses are addictive. I will be exploring a whole bunch of them on some of my channels in the coming weeks.

[Simon-SBL]

I have the original DG, it is one of my favourite lenses, along with most of the original optic swap lenses, is there any advantage to getting the mirrorless Composer Pro II body over just using an adapter? Specifically talking about Canon RF.
Here, I am not able to get the Composer Pro II without an optic.

What's the difference between this and the Sweet lens?

[williaty]

What's the difference between the Double Glass II and the Sweet 50mm? Are the magnetic snap in apertures the only meaningful difference?

[picbygiz]

Oh i need to know more… any one that have try it yet and play around whit it?
