Lensbaby has announced a new creative lens today: Burnside 35. It’s a 35mm f/2.8 wide angle adaptation of the Petzval lens design. Burnside 35 adds swirling bokeh and vignette around your subject, with an effect slider that operates as a second internal iris. This slider lets you can change the shape and amount of swirl in the bokeh; all while adding or removing vignette and center brightness. Something like Instagram filters in real life.

Lensbaby Burnside 35 is created with different kinds of photographers in mind: for shooting “street, landscapes, environmental portraits and more.” Lensbaby Chief Creative Officer and Co-Founder Craig Strong calls it “one of the most versatile Lensbabies they’ve made.”

A pretty interesting feature is the effect slider on the lens. You can use it to add center brightness, in-camera vignette and adjust bokeh detail. It features a four-stop range of vignette and bokeh enhancement so you can dial in the exact look that appeals to you.

Burnside 35 is all-metal, non-tilting lens similar to their Velvet series. It’s made for full frame bodies, but it can be used on crop bodies as well. The lens is available for eight different mounts: Canon EF, Nikon F, Sony A, Pentax K, Micro 4/3, Sony E, Fuji X and Samsung NX.

Let’s take a look at the specs:

  • Focal Length: 35mm
  • Aperture Range: f/2.8-16
  • 6 blade internal aperture
  • 8 blade secondary internal aperture for the effect slider
  • Minimum Focus Distance: 6 inches
