Videocast Icon (Good)A Friday special, from the dark corners of our footage folder, the Lensbaby Composer! Representing the newest of Lensbaby’s optical solutions the Composer features a ball-joint method for orienting the “sweet spot” and a true barrel-focus system, along with their new swappable optics (which we move to call ’swaptics,’ you can have that off us, Lensbaby) which let you choose how much toy camera effect you want your Lensbaby to yield.
