Creative effects with Lensbaby Sweet 22
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. Add to this dramatic selective focus effect a super-wide angle of view of almost 90 degrees on full frame cameras and you have the ability to pinpoint a single subject from its surroundings while getting up close, down to 127mm away from the lens, to separate the subject from its background.
