Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Plastic Optic - our softest optic overall and it creates very ethereal photos with abundant chromatic aberration.
Pinhole/Zone plate Optic - lets you shift easily back and forth from pinhole to zone plate mode by simply sliding a toggle inside the optic. In pinhole or zone plate mode, this optic insert achieves soft focus and dreamy images that are equally sharp from edge to edge.
Single Glass Optic - is an update of the Original Lensbaby optic, ideal for fine art, portraiture, black and white images, and any shot requiring a subtle, soft, dreamy effect.
How to use: Use the Optic Swap Tool to pop out your optic and drop a new optic into your Lensbaby lens.;To change your aperture, simply touch the tip of your Magnetic Aperture Removal Tool to the aperture disk and lift it out. Then drop a new aperture disk into the front of the lens.

This pack contains three lenses for your Lensbaby Composer: single glass, plastic, and pinhole/zone-plate.
I felt the results from the single glass optic were only subtlely different from the double glass optic you get with the Composer. Maybe a tad less sharp, but that's all.
The plastic lens really gives everything a soft, surreal, retro look (over and above the weird effects of the Composer). It's my favourite in the kit, and if you turn up the saturation and contrast on your photos you'll get some really warm, colourful results.
The pinhole gives a flat, low-contrast, rather other-worldly image. Completely unlike anything else you'll get with a DSLR.
Finally the zone-plate switch on the pinhole will turn your photos into massively soft-focus, wondrously blurred images. The most dramatic of all 'lenses' in the kit, and maybe not something you'll use a lot. But interesting nonetheless.
I'd definitely recommend getting this pack if you're already happy using a Composer and want to play some more!

A review from somebody who's actually used this product.
17 Nov 2009
I love my Lensbaby Composer. It gives a very artistic and unique look to any photo you take with it. While my Composer came with the double glass, which is very sharp in the sweet spot, the single glass, plastic, and pinhole/zone plate optics are just as fun to use. The single glass optic gives a softer look in the sweet spot, the type you'd find in an antique camera. The plastic optic is very fun, giving you the look/feel of an old toy camera. Very soft images, dreamy in a sense. The pinhole/zoneplate optic is very different. You have to have a tripod for this optic, being as the zoneplate is a fixed f/19 and the pinhole is fixed at f/177.
All of these optics will work with the Lensbaby Composer, Muse, and Control Freak. Also, the creative aperture kit will work with the Single glass and Plastic optic, in addition to the Double glass optic, but not the pinhole/zoneplate.
These are very easy to use with the lensbaby, have great instructions that come with them, and the Lensbaby community is very supportive and knowledgeable.
These cannot be used by themselves, they must be used in concert with a Lensbaby Composer, Muse, or Control Freak. If you need additional "technical details" (this is directed at the other reviewers), I suggest you actually use the internet and google Lensbaby, or just go to [...] and check out the kit from there and quit writing erroneous reviews, bringing down the star-rating of this phenomenal kit.

Good deal on 3 optics, but why no aperture disks?

I'm quite happy with the price for this set of optics and happy with the optics themselves. The only issue I really have is that for some reason this set does *not* come with aperture disks. Often this won't be a problem if you, for example, bought a Composer with a double glass optic (which should have come with all of the disks), but if you bought a Composer Pro with Sweet 35 that didn't come with any aperture disks then you're out of luck if you then buy this.
I contacted Lensbaby and they rectified the problem by sending me all the aperture disks I was missing, which is great service, but the "kit" should have come with them in the first place.
So I would give the optics in the kit 5 stars, but I give the "kit" itself 4 simply because it was missing something that was essential for making this a real kit rather than an "expansion bundle" that appears to assume that you already bought a double glass or something.

The set of lenses help to bring out the creative part of your photgraphy. There is a nice selection of images that you can do. Chances are you will prefer one over the others and use it more.
