Lensbaby is known for their creative art lenses and mobile accessories including the Composer Pro, LM-10, and Velvet 56. Today, the company has announced their latest addition to their product lineup aimed at smartphone photographers. The new �Creative Mobile Kit� includes two lenses: the LM-20 and the LM-30, a mobile mounting mechanism, and a kickstand for long exposures.
The first lens, the LM-20, features Lensbaby�s famous �center sweet spot of focus� with a sharp drop-off into blur.
The second lens, the LM-30, takes a sharply focused image surrounded by reflections.

Lensbaby states that their product is officially compatible with Apple�s iPhone 5/5s/5c, iPhone 6, and iPhone 6 Plus devices, in addition to Android devices running any operating system past Jelly Bean. Quite frankly, we don�t see any reason the kit wouldn�t be compatible with most�mobile devices with the two very flexible mounting solutions included. In addition, the Lensbaby Mobile app is not needed to shoot with the lenses.
Craig Strong, Lensbaby�s Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, noted that �customers are taking more pictures using their mobile phones and have been asking for more Lensbaby lenses for some time now.� As a result, Strong is �happy to announce that [Lensbaby�s] Creative Mobile Kit is available to help visual artists take and share images that project their creativity and unique perspective.�

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
