The fast Lensbaby Velvet 56 is a manual lens that proves that Lensbaby has now grown into the high-end segment, both qualitatively and optically.

The incredible versatility of the Lensbaby Velvet 56 can be seen in the range of uses of this lens. With Velvet, photographers can seamlessly take everything from velvety portraits to close-ups of clothing or jewelry, and from nature to macro photography with a sharp focus point, to meet virtually any creative challenge possible with this focal length.

The lens creates impressive images with a large aperture, with a velvety, extremely aesthetic and model flattering appearance. This becomes sharper and more subtle the more the aperture is closed. The captured images shine in beautiful shades of colour, reminiscent of the velvety film look of days gone by. The Velvet 56 is strongly reminiscent of the image effect and construction quality of classic portrait lenses from the mid-20th century. The weight of 400 grams underlines the exceptionally high quality. The polished surface of the lens and the manual focus take the user back to the good old days of photography.

The movement between extreme macros, soft portraits and distant objects with a multitude of details brings a lot of fun into the photographer's life and broadens the photographic horizon more than traditional fixed focal lengths can do.
