Lensbaby Announces Availability of Composer® Pro for Mirrorless Cameras
Now the Composer Pro delivers ultra-smooth creative control for photographers with Micro 4/3rds, Sony α NEX and Samsung NX cameras too
Portland, OR – April 2, 2012 - Lensbaby announces its popular SLR creative effects camera lens, the Composer Pro, is now also available for Micro 4/3rds cameras (including Panasonic Lumix™ G Micro System and Olympus PEN®), Sony® α NEX, and Samsung NX cameras. The Composer Pro for mirrorless cameras is compatible with the Lensbaby Optic Swap® System and ships with the Double Glass Optic installed.
The Composer Pro, launched in March 2011, refined and enhanced the preferred and award winning Lensbaby Composer® by upgrading the swivel ball and focus mechanism to give professional performance. The Composer Pro's metal swivel ball design and refined focus mechanism deliver ultra-smooth focus and tilt control. The updated focus mechanism includes a fluid and accurate dampened focus ring similar to the main focus mechanisms of the best quality professional manual focus lenses. This smooth, fluid operation makes the Composer Pro the best choice for discerning professional photographers and videographers who desire to create ground-breaking creative imagery – and now they will achieve this with their mirrorless cameras to boot.
The Double Glass Optic, a 50mm f/2 selective focus optic, creates a Sweet Spot of sharp focus that photographers can move round the photo by tilting the Composer Pro's swiveling lens body. The Composer Pro is compatible with the whole range of creative optics within the Lensbaby Optic Swap System including the brink 80, Sweet 35, Fisheye, Soft Focus, Pinhole/Zone plate, Single Glass, and Plastic. Each optic will be swapped into the Composer Pro to deliver an additional creative effect.
The Composer Pro for mirrorless cameras joins Lensbaby's growing family of lenses, which now includes the Composer Pro for SLR cameras, Composer, Scout, Muse, and Control Freak.
"We're excited to provide mirrorless camera shooters full access to the Lensbaby Creative Effects system. With such a lot of photographers selecting these smaller cameras for on-the-go shooting situations, our one lens with such a lot of creative effect options will make an excellent addition to their set-up," said Craig Strong, Lensbaby Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer.
