Lensbaby Packages
Movie Maker’s Kit
Lensbaby has introduced the Lensbaby
Movie Maker’s Kit, a complete
creative solution for filmmakers looking to
add unique effects to their footage incamera.
Conveniently packaged in a rugged
Pelican case, the Movie Maker’s Kit
contains two Lensbaby lenses for use on
PL-mount cameras: Muse PL with Double
Glass and Composer Pro PL with Sweet 35.
The Kit also includes one Composer Pro
with a Canon mount for use on Canon’s
line of DSLRs.
In addition to the lenses, the Movie
Maker’s Kit includes a wide range of interchangeable
optics and accessories
designed to provide the filmmaker with
limitless aesthetic and creative options at a
variety of focal lengths.
Filmmakers can achieve an array of
effects in-camera with the Movie Maker’s
Kit. The Sweet 35, Double Glass, Plastic
and Single Glass optics can be used to
create different quality selective-focus
effects, where one area of the image at a
given distance is in focus while other areas
at the same distance fall out of focus. The
Fisheye, Soft Focus and Pinhole/Zone plate
optics allow further in-camera creativity.
The Lensbaby Movie Maker’s Kit is
available for $2,900. For more information,

Schneider Takes iPhone Pro
Schneider Optics has introduced
the iPro Lens System, designed to enable
professional-quality photographic and
video imagery on Apple’s iPhone 4 with
interchangeable wide-angle and fisheye
lenses.
The iPro Lens System features a
rugged iPhone case and wide-angle and
fisheye lenses that tuck neatly away in the
pocket-sized handle/lens case. The lenses
use a bayonet mount to securely fasten
onto the custom iPhone case. The case also
gives users the option of attaching the
handle on the left or right side of the
iPhone; the handle itself enables the phone
to be attached to a tripod.
Optimized for both still and video
images, the iPro Lens System includes two
precision-made, genuine Century lenses.
The wide-angle lens simply twists on and
increases the iPhone’s field of view by 35
percent with low distortion and edge-toedge
sharpness. For a super-wide, distorted
effect, the fisheye lens alters the field of
view by a dramatic 165-degrees.
iPro lens housings are precision
machined from aluminum alloy and
anodized for durability. The lens elements
are painstakingly ground and polished from
top-grade optical glass. To avoid flare, the
lenses feature multi-layer anti-reflection
coatings.
The iPro Lens System is available for
$199. For more information, visit
