We have reviewed our fair share of add on lenses for smart phones. However, unlike the usual macro, zoom and fish lenses, the Lensbaby Sweet Spot Lens for Mobile Phones adds a whole new effect that we have never seen on the phone. The Lensbaby Sweet Spot Lens is a selective focus lens that creates Lensbaby’s signature depth-of-field look. When used creatively, this unique lens produces great photo effects.
Playing around with the Lensbaby Sweet Spot Lens is lots of fun because you can view how the lens plays with light and depth of focus in real-time on your smart phone display. You can adjust the position of the sweet spot to create the effect that you want with the included free camera app. Photos taken with the selective focus effect draws the viewer’s attention directly to where you want. The blurring effect can also be used to create an illusion of motion, an effect that is used to great effect in Japanese manga.
The lens comes with a steel ring that sticks to the camera lens of your phone. The Sweet Spot lens itself has a magnetic surface on both ends for attaching to the camera lens. You can make use of your other lenses such as your macro and zoom lens by attaching them to the Sweet Spot lens to give you even more versatility in coming up with creative shots.
The Lensbaby Sweet Spot Lens for Mobile Phones works with most phones including iPhones and Android phones. It works for both photos and video.
