Lensbaby Sol 22

Manufacturer description: Sol 22 is the first Lensbaby lens designed specifically for Micro 4/3 cameras (Panasonic & Olympus). It’s a 22mm fixed f/3.5 selective focus lens that creates a tack-sharp circular area of focus surrounded by smooth blur and bold bokeh. Simply choose what you want to emphasize in the frame, bend the lens toward it, rotate the front-most ring to bring your subject into focus, and shoot.

Sol’s tilt mechanism is designed to always keep the area of focus within the frame, whether you are shooting on full frame or APS-C sensor cameras, making it even easier to capture more keepers. Sol 22 also features a center-locking ability. Twisting the lens into the lock position lets you know when your spot of focus is in the center of the frame.

For those looking for more in-camera creative control, Sol 22 features two bokeh blades. These hinged blades add subtle lines and texture to the bokeh – ensuring that no two images will look the same. Simply bring the blades into the lens’s field of view and then rotate them in any direction – horizontal, vertical or diagonal.
