Lensbaby launches Creative Mobile Kit
Lensbaby, the maker of a range of 'creative lenses' and mobile accessories has launched the Creative Mobile Kit. It consists of a mounting device and kickstand for your smartphone and two lenses, the LM-20 and LM-30. The former captures a large sweet spot of focus surrounded by gradually increasing blur, and the latter produces images that have a sharp center surrounded by reflections.
According to Lensbaby the kit is compatible with Apple's iPhone 5 series, the iPhones 6 and 6 Plus and all Android phones running version 4.1 or newer of the Google mobile operating system. That said, given you can use the lenses without the dedicated app, the Creative Mobile Kit should work with any smartphone that the lens mount can be attached to.
The Creative Mobile Kit including LM-20 and LM-30 lenses is now available for $90 on the Lensbaby website or through retailers. Below you can see samples captured with the kit and lenses.

No Nikon camera we've tested to date balances stills and video capture as well as the Nikon Z7. Though autofocus is less reliable than the D850, Nikon's first full-frame mirrorless gets enough right to earn our recommendation.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. While it's great for lunar and still wildlife photography, we found that it's not suited for much else.
As a stills camera the Fujifilm X-T3 is a pleasant update to one of our favorite APS-C cameras, significantly improving the autofocus. If you're interested in stills and video, though, it's knockout.
The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
