When the Lensbaby Velvet 85mm f1.8 was put into my hands a few months ago, I was really curious about this lens. The previous one coming in at 56mm was incredibly soft. Now, that\u2019s all part of the charm of the Velvet series\u2013but when it\u2019s so soft that focus peaking sometimes won\u2019t even work, then it can be tough to get anything in focus with the lens. But the Lensbaby Velvet 85mm f1.8 is different in a whole bunch of ways. It\u2019s still soft wide open, but you can make that work for you in a number of ways: one of which is to work with a studio flash system.<\/p>\n

With the announcement of the\u00a0Lensbaby Velvet 85mm f1.8 available in a number of mounts, this only makes the choice of which 85mm lens to choose for the Sony<\/a>camera<\/a> system even more difficult.<\/p>\n
