Category: Stand-Alone Lens

The Sweet 22 pancake lens from Lensbaby features the smallest sweet spot with the most blur outside the sweet spot of any Lensbaby lens. With a compact, robust metal body and built-in focus down to 5 inches from the front element, this new mirrorless-only creative effects lens brings dramatic optical effects to stills and video imagery that have never before been possible.

The tiny, tack-sharp, centered sweet spot created by the Sweet 22 gives a sense of motion to still images while creating dramatic focus transitions of moving subject matter coming into or out of the Sweet 22’s sweet spot when shooting video. A sea of impressionistic blur gradually transitioning to a precise, tack sharp sweet spot gives photographers the chance to create imagery more dramatic than previous selective focus lenses.

Benjamin K. ★★★★★

The metal body feels incredibly solid in hand, and I love how compact it is for slipping into a jacket pocket. That tiny sweet spot takes some practice, but the blur effect outside it is exactly the dreamy look I was hoping for.

Eva ★★★★★

Finally managed to get the focus right on a portrait and the blur outside that tiny sweet spot is unlike anything I've seen—creates such a dreamy, soft background. The metal body feels solid and precise in hand too.

Adam ★★★★★

That tiny sweet spot takes some getting used to, but once I found it the blur around the edges is exactly the dreamy look I wanted. The metal body feels solid in hand, and focusing down to 5 inches lets me get right up on flowers and small details.
