Three new Lensbaby lenses, The Composer, The Muse and The Control Freak, feature the new Lensbaby Optic Swap system. All Lensbaby lenses provide photographers with a new way to control depth of field by bringing one area of a photo into sharpest focus with that Sweet Spot surrounded by graduated blur.

The Composer introduces a completely new lens, based on a ball and socket configuration that delivers smooth selective focus photography with unparalleled ease of use and greater precision. It retains its position after being bent and is easy to use even with one hand.
Photographers do not squeeze the lens to focus, but can simply tilt the lens to a desired angle and then focus with a barrel focusing ring.
The Composer stays in the desired bent position without requiring a locking mechanism and features the new Lensbaby Optic Swap System. Its unique barrel focusing ring automatically dampens the movement of the optic (requiring greater rotation to move the optic in and out) as you approach infinity, making it easer to focus on subjects from three metres to infinity.
The Muse allows photographers to still focus by compressing the lens and move the sweet spot by bending the flexible lens tubing. The key update for The Muse is its new Lensbaby Optic Swap System, which means when a photographer wants to change the optic in their Lensbaby, they will simply pop the optic out and drop in a different optic using an Optic Swap Tool supplied with the new optic. Each optic has different features and image qualities, allowing photographers to choose the look that fits their creative style.
The Control Freak updates the Lensbaby 3G by adding the Lensbaby Optic Swap System. With The Control Freak, photographers compress to focus, bend to move the sweet spot, and then push a button to lock the lens in place.
