For the creative close-up shooter, the Lensbaby Soft Focus Optic Swap Macro Kit includes the popular Composer Pro II lens body along with a pair of optics and three close-up filters for a unique take on macro photography.

Additionally, a large Optic Swap System Case is also included, as well as a lens cloth.
Lensbaby Composer Pro II with Sweet 50 Optic for Canon EF
Draw more attention to your subject with a circular spot of focus surrounded by a beautifully blurred background by using the Lensbaby Composer Pro II with Sweet 50 Optic, available here with a Canon EF mount. This updated tool is completely compatible with the established Optic Swap System and can use any of the numerous optics available. This version improves upon the original Pro model by featuring a metal body as well as an improved tilt function that ranges from 0-15° in any direction.
Bundled with it is the Sweet 50, which offers a normal perspective on full-frame cameras. This curved field optic differs from your standard lens by creating a spot of focus when tilted that can be manipulated in position by tilting the Composer and manipulated in size by manually changing the aperture from f/2.5 to 22. The optic also offers manual focus as close as 15" from your subject. Additionally, the Sweet 50 has a 46mm filter thread as well as an internal 12-blade diaphragm for extra smooth out-of-focus areas.

Lensbaby 46mm Macro Filter Kit
A simple and convenient method for shortening your minimum focusing distance and minimum working distance, this Macro Filter Kit from Lensbaby fits lenses with 46mm filter threads, and enables you to photograph close-up subjects more effectively. This kit is comprised of +1, +2, and +4 dioptric strength lenses, and each of the lenses can be used to vary the degree of how much the minimum focusing distance of the lens is reduced. Additionally, front 46mm filter threads also allow the close-up lenses to be combined for even greater magnifications.
Kit includes +1, +2, and +4 dioptric strength lenses.
Convex lens design lessens the minimum focusing distance of any lens for close-up shooting.
Each lens has 46mm front threads for stacking other close-up lenses on top of one another to increase the overall effect.
