Lensbaby Introduces Velvet 85mm f/1.8

From Lensbaby:

Create soulful, striking portraits with our Velvet 85 art lens. Compose impressionistic masterpieces with a soft overlay at bright apertures, straight out of camera. Use darker apertures to bypass glow and make images with a crisp, film-like aesthetic.

Building on the strengths of our bestselling Velvet 56 lens, Velvet 85 combines lustrous skin tones with the added compression and sublime bokeh of high-quality 85mm portrait lenses. Use its macro capability to capture the most compelling details.

Velvet 85 is currently available for pre-order and will begin shipping July 11th in the order in which they are received.

B&H will carry the Lensbaby Velvet 85mm f/1.8 lens.
