Lensbaby Spark 2.0 Review

 

Snaps artsy photos with a sweet spot of focus ; Works with Optic Swap lenses ; Bundled with Sweet 50 ; Full-frame sensor coverage ; Available for multiple camera systems

Push-pull focus is less than ideal ; Not well suited for tripod or video work ; Droops with heavier Optic Swap lenses installed ; Expensive for what it is

The Lensbaby Spark 2.0 lens delivers the classic sweet spot of focus and crazy bokeh you expect from the brand, but its push-pull focus and flexible tube design limit what you're able to do with it.

Creative art lenses aren't everyone's cup of tea, but the Lensbaby Spark 2.0 is both a joy to use and produces creative in-camera results. The ultra-stylized look can be subtle or dialed up to 11, depending on what you're shooting, and the effect is...

Great fun for creative photographers

 

My Scotch lady bought this for me as a gift for Christmas. It's a great lens for special effects and the image quality is actually quite good. It takes a little getting used to in the beginning but once you get the hang of it it's fairly easy to use....
