Special image effects, such as those achieved by holding a crystal in front of the lens, are frequently used for unique and demanding shots. However, this technique has the drawback that an image cannot be replicated with a different aperture, as the identical position of the object in front of the lens is never 100% reproducible. This changes now with the OMNI Creative System from Lensbaby.

It offers control and repeatability when photographing with crystals and other objects developed by Lensbaby. Impressive and convincing image effects can be achieved that can also be reproduced with other camera settings, as the objects are attached in front of the lens. This unusual professional system is designed for photographers to continue using their existing equipment.

The creative OMNI filter system uses a relatively lightweight metal ring that screws onto the filter thread of the lens. The system includes three effect rods that can be magnetically attached to the filter ring, allowing for quick and easy positioning at any point on the front of the lens.
