The overall softness can be controlled by stopping down the lens while still retaining the smooth tonality of a soft focus lens. Compatible with full-frame sensors, this slightly longer-than-normal focal length pairs with the fast f\/1.6 maximum aperture to excel in difficult lighting and achieve a shallow depth of field with controllable sharpness. Additionally, for increased creative versatility, the lens also offers a 1:2 maximum magnification and a minimum working distance of 5\" for macro shooting. Housed within a black metal barrel, this lens also features smooth, dampened manual focus control to further benefit creative flexibility. Consistent with Lensbaby's aim of purveying selective focus capabilities and a unique velvety image quality, the Velvet 56mm f\/1.6 is a versatile tool that marries classical looks with contemporary control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePortrait-length 56mm focal length is compatible with Pentax K-mount cameras with full-frame format sensors as well as APS-C format sensors, where it will provide an 84mm equivalent focal length.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast f\/1.6 maximum aperture offers extensive control over selective focus and shallow depth of field, and also benefits working in difficult lighting conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe unique singlet-doublet-singlet lens design renders imagery with a soft, smooth, and glowing image quality reminiscent of mid-20th century portrait lenses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoftness can be controlled by stopping-down the lens: when stopped-down to f\/16, the image exhibits a smooth quality with greater central sharpness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 1:2 maximum magnification ratio and 5\" minimum working distance enable working with close-up subjects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual focus design with a smooth, dampened focusing movement is complemented by engraved focus distance indicators.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual exposure control requires stop-down metering and manual setting of the aperture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLensbaby Velvet 56mm f\/1.6 Lens for Pentax K (Silver)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eK-Mount Lens\/Full-Frame Format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAperture Range: f\/1.6 to f\/16\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSinglet-Doublet-Singlet Optical Design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft Glowing Effect at Wide Apertures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspired by Classic Portrait Lenses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:2 Magnification, 5\" Working Distance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual Focus and Exposure Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll-Metal Lens Barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter Thread: 62mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lensbaby","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43238026215591,"sku":"GC40-LBV56SEP","price":840.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4083\/0375\/products\/LBV56SEP.jpg?v=1680087314","url":"https:\/\/www.georges.com.au\/products\/lensbaby-velvet-56mm-f-1-6-lens-for-pentax-k-silver","provider":"Georges Cameras","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
