Introducing the Lensbaby Creative Portrait Kit!

Express your visual voice with the new Lensbaby Creative Portrait Kit!


This kit contains Composer Pro II with the Edge 80 to set your subject apart in a slice of focus surrounded by a soft blur, the Optic Sweet 50 for a sweet spot of sharp focus set off by lots of bokeh and blur and the Optic Twist 60 for lots of twisty, swirly blur with a bright center of focus. For those shots where a more traditional look is desired, use the Edge 80 Optic like an 80mm Prime lens by putting it in the straight Twist 60 body.

Introducing the latest from MeFOTO!

The MeFOTO Air line has 3 new tripods and one monopod that are the definition of lightweight and portable with unmatched stability. Let's take a closer look!

 

The MeFOTO Air BackPacker is lightweight but can support up to 17.6 lb, making it a perfect choice for all your cameras, from cell phone right up to DSLR! 

An anodized aluminum Arca-Swiss style camera plate with a 3-in-1 screw is included.  But it fits industry standard plates, so if you already have a MeFOTO or Arca Swiss plate, you’re in business! 

The new MeFOTO Air GlobeTrotter in Green. All the new MeFOTO tripods and monopods have the HyperLock leg system, which makes them faster and easier to set up more compact for travel. 

The MeFOTO Air RoadTrip in Red. Compare ONE lock per leg vs 9 to a whopping 15 leg locks for some other brands. But don’t worry about the stability, as the HyperLock design is actually better and sturdier than some other tripod leg locks.

 The MeFOTO Air WalkAbout monopod in Red has just ONE HyperLock Leg Lock, making it MeFOTO's lightest and most compact monopod!

Introducing the  Sigma 500mm F4 DG HSM OS Sports lens! This is the new flagship lens of the Sports line and a masterpiece of a hyper telephoto lens! Great features for challenging shoots include enhanced dust- and splash-proof construction, Optical Stabilizer (OS) system, SIGMA Tele Converter compatibility, AF function switch, SIGMA’s latest-generation Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM), and more.
