Lensbaby 3G Nikon F Mount SLR Camera Lens

Lensbaby 3G Nikon F Mount SLR Camera Lens (LB3GN)
The Lensbaby 3G lens is a workhorse for photographers who require precise focusing, complete control, longer exposures, and repeatability. When working with dynamic subject matter you can focus Lensbaby 3G just like Lensbaby 2.0 - by compressing and bending. For slower moving or static subject matter, you can lock the lens in place simply by pressing a button on the focusing collar. Then you can fine focus using a traditional barrel focusing ring and fine tune the tilt to place the sweet spot exactly where you want.Lensbaby 3G features the same low dispersion, high refractive index, multi-coated optical glass doublet as Lensbaby 2.0, and delivers images with a tack sharp sweet spot with minimal diffusion even at the f/2 aperture setting. Lensbaby 3G uses the same system of magnetically levitating aperture disks as Lensbaby 2.0 with aperture settings of f/2, f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, f/11, f/16, and f/22.

Customer Review: Amazing tool! Incredibly useful.

I bought the Lensbaby 3G from Amazon a month or so ago. Since I've received it, I can't say I could be more pleased.

This thing is awesome! It's so easy to use (in spite of what you may think from looking at it), and I can focus it on just about anything almost instantly. It's so easy to focus that I can grab shots just as easily as if I'd had an autofocus lens on my camera. Stuck with a boring background, and need to make a creative portrait? Just slap the f/2.8 ring on it, or remove the ring for f/2.0 and shoot away! The only piece of advice I might offer is this: For most people, the Lensbaby 2G will be fine, and it's much cheaper. The primary reason to get the 3G is if you plan on doing tripod based photography with it, in which case you'll need repeatable results. In most cases, you're just flinging the Lensbaby around in your hands and grabbing cool shots, which does not require the locking mechanism of the 3G. All in all, I recommend any of the Lensbaby lenses to anyone who likes to have fun, and make some cool artistic photographs. You won't be disappointed.

Customer Review: A FUN lens that takes you back to photography's roots

The Lensbaby is a few ounces of pure fun, that will COMPLETELY take you back to those days when you were a photographer walking around LOOKING for things to shoot!

The Lensbaby will allow you to go back to the time when you considered framing, planes of focus, composition and converging lines, depth of field, shutter speed and f-stop, and MANUAL focus, all before you pressed the shutter.
You remember all of these terms, but with today's modern cameras how many of you have actually had to think about these terms? The Lensbaby takes you back to photography's roots, to a time when shooting was as much for FUN as it was to create images of beauty.
Get the Lensbaby, and start carrying your camera just for fun again!
