Special image effects, such as those achieved by holding a crystal in front of the lens, are often used for unique and sophisticated shots. However, this technique has the drawback that an image taken with a different aperture cannot be replicated, as the identical position of the object in front of the lens is never 100% reproducible. This changes now with the OMNI Creative System from Lensbaby.

It offers control and repeatability when photographing with crystals and other objects developed by Lensbaby. Impressive and convincing image effects can be achieved that can also be reproduced with different camera settings, as the objects are secured in front of the lens. This unusual professional system is designed for photographers to continue using their existing equipment.

The creative OMNI filter system uses a relatively lightweight metal ring that screws onto the filter thread of the lens. The system includes three effect rods that can be magnetically attached to the filter ring, allowing for quick and easy positioning at any point on the front of the lens.
