New Lensbaby Macro Converters Give Lensbaby
Shooters Limitless Close-Focus Options
Portland, OR – February 2, 2012 – Lensbaby announces today the Lensbaby Macro Converters,
which can be used with any Lensbaby Optic and lens body for creative macro photography. The Macro
Converters are designed to enable photographers using the Lensbaby Optic Swap System™ to take
extremely close-up, dreamy and artistic photos while selectively blurring out distracting elements.
“The Macro Converters work with every Lens Body and Optic we make,” said Craig Strong, Lensbaby
President and Co-Founder. “These Macro Converters offer great close-up range, and when mixed and
matched with our existing Macro Kit, provide multiple options for creative Lensbaby macro
photography. In combination with the Lensbaby Optic Swap system, Macro Converters provide
photographers with a fun and compelling macro experience.”
The Macro Converters are available as a set containing one
8mm converter and one 16mm converter, which can also be
stacked together to make a 24mm converter. The existing
Lensbaby Macro Kit (which features a +4 and +10 macro filter)
can also be used in conjunction with the Macro Converters with
the Double Glass, Single Glass, Plastic and Soft Focus Optics
for an even closer capture.
