Lensbaby Burnside 35 Is A Wide-Angle Adaptation Of The Petzval Lens Design

Lensbaby are well known for building lenses that help users capture images that have a creative feel to them and their new Burnside 35 lens continues this trend with its ability to capture bright central area of sharp focus that's surrounded by swirling bokeh and vignette.

The Burnside 35 is the first ever wide-angle adaptation of the Petzval lens design and it also features an effect slider that operates as a second internal iris that changes the shape and amount of swirl in the bokeh; all while adding or removing vignette and centre brightness. 

"The Burnside 35 is one of the most versatile Lensbabies we’ve made," said Lensbaby Chief Creative Officer and Co-Founder Craig Strong. "It gives you the ability to have a strong or subtle creative effect in a single lens, a lens you might just keep on your camera all day long."

Burnside’s 35mm focal length lets you capture a scene at a normal-wide perspective with a dimensionality that makes your subject jump off the page. This lens opens up a new world of creative possibilities for those shooting street photography, landscapes, environmental portraits and more. 

The Burnside 35 joins Lensbaby’s lens lineup as an all-metal, non-tilting lens similar to their bestselling Velvet series. Made specifically for full frame and crop sensor cameras, this lens is compatible with Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony A, Pentax K, Micro 4/3, Sony E, Fuji X and Samsung NX. The new lens is available now, priced at $499.95.
