The Velvet 85 is another in the line-up of Velvet lenses for Lensbaby! The long focal length produces the most beautiful blur that the Velvet line is known for. It does weigh a bit more than than the other Lensbaby lenses, but it's not uncomfortable to hold, in my opinion. This gives a little more reach than the Velvet 28 or Velvet 56 which can be a nice option. Because of the focal length, the compression is a bit nicer too! With an aperture range of f/1.8 to f/16 you can have as much or as little effect as your heart desires!
The Velvet 85 sells for $499.95 US when it's not on sale. You always have the option of using the code WKUHLMAN for an extra 10% off. Once in a while you may not be able to stack my code with a sale price, but it's always a good idea to try out! You never know when you might get a discount!
Some of the images below were created using ICM (intentional camera movement) or are multiple exposures (created in-camera or in post processing) and some had the addition of the pieces of the Lensbaby Omni Swap system!
A Lensbaby Omni Wand was used to create the repetition in the image below.
