Priced at $299.95, Chimping in Union Square. Shot with the Lensbaby Edge 80 optic. Lensbaby adds another yummy and better designed optic to its tilting lens system. Edge 80 When Lensbaby originally debuted its swappable-optic lens system, it was a somewhat offputting, complicated device with a laudable concept a housing, frequently tiltable, in which you could slip different types of lenses. The latest optic in the Lensbaby system, the $300 Edge 80, shows the Lensbaby evolved to the most user friendly and streamlined it’s ever been. I tested the Edge 80 in the Composer Pro on a Canon EOS 7D

With it photographers can make great ‘straight’ photos with the lens pointing straight. But, when the photographer wants a different look, he can tilt the lens, which will give a razor sharp slice of selective focus using the same image. The magic can be seen on its tilting feature, which can create various focuses of the image, whether vertical, horizontal or diagonal slices. It is also said that photographer can easily change from f/2.8 through f/22, simply by rotating the dial of the lens. As suggested by Lensbaby, this feature will be better understood by going to Edge 80 Optic simulator.
