Lensbaby, the manufacturer of lenses that create a special effect in your photos, has added a new type of lens to its product range, the Lensbaby Obscura. It takes you back to the beginning of photography: pinhole photography.

It is being launched in several versions, a 50mm version for SLR cameras, which fits into the Optic Swap system, and a 16mm pancake lens for mirrorless cameras.

The Lensbaby Obscura is not yet available in the Netherlands, but that will probably change soon. Prices will probably be around 250 euros.
