Sleek and modern design
Click here to view larger ( https://images-eu.ssl-images-.com/images/G/02/uk-electronics/product_content/intro2020/Product_image_large.jpg )Spark is a manual focus lens that provides a fun, tactile
shooting experience. Photographers squeeze to focus, and tilt to
move the “sweet spot” of focus around the image. It is a
lightweight, all plastic (except for the optic, which is a
multi-coated glass doublet) 50mm selective focus lens with a
f/5.6 fixed aperture available for Canon and Nikon DSLRs. Spark
is compatible with the rest of the optics in the Optic Swap
System, and with all Lensbaby 37mm threaded accessory lenses.
“Spark sprouted from Lensbaby’s fun and creative roots,” said
Craig Strong, Lensbaby Chief Creative Officer and Co-Founder.
“We crafted Spark for photographers who look to go beyond their
predictable kit lens and experiment with visual spontaneity
in-camera.”
Spark, like all Lensbaby lenses, is a non-electronic, manual
focus lens. Spark works in either Manual or Aperture Priority
mode. It is important to make sure the diopter on your camera is
set for your eye as this will help ensure that what looks to
be in focus through the viewfinder is actually in focus. The
diopter dial on most SLR cameras can be found right next to the
viewfinder. Correctly setting the diopter on your SLR camera is
easy, just put any normal lens on the camera, and then rotate the
diopter dial until the grid in your viewfinder appears sharp.
Produces top quality and vivid images
Click here to view larger ( https://images-eu.ssl-images-.com/images/G/02/uk-electronics/product_content/intro2020/Great_colourful_images_large.jpg )Some cameras will work with Spark in Aperture Priority mode,
reading the a of light coming in and automatically adjusting
the shutter speed accordingly (you’ll just need to set your
camera’s ISO). If your camera will not meter with Spark, change
to Manual mode and look at the preview and histogram on the back
of your camera after you’re taken a test , then manually
adjust the shutter speed for a good exposure. For a starting
point, try ISO 1600 at 1/60 shutter speed indoors, ISO 400 at
1/250 shutter speed outside on a cloudy day, and ISO 200 at 1/500
shutterspeed outside on a sunny day, and then make small tweaks
until the exposure looks correct.
Adjusting the diopter and shooting in manual mode can take a
little practice initially but the payoff of being able to shoot
fun, creative, unique images with the Lensbaby Spark provides
great reward.
Lensbaby’s top tips: getting started…
-------------------------------------
· Start with an easy subject - something with texture so that you
can clearly see the area of focus.
· Point your lens straight ahead. Whilst holding the camera with
your thumbs on the back and finger tips from each hand on the
front of your Spark, slowly squeeze straight back. Practice
getting your sweet spot sharp. In this position, it will always
be in the center.
· Look sharp through the viewfinder? Take a few extra s, just
to make sure. Try compressing just a tiny bit more or less each
time – the odds are that at least one of these photos will be in
focus.
· Once you feel comfortable getting a center-focus in focus,
try tilting – this will move the sweet spot of focus in the
direction you’re tilting. Just remember that a little tilt goes a
long way!
