What's in the set

Modern Lens 35 Sharp detail, accurate colour, and refined bokeh — the clean precision of contemporary wide-angle glass.
Modern Lens 50 Natural perspective with polished rendering — the everyday workhorse lens, elevated.
Modern Lens 135 Beautiful subject separation and smooth compression — the look of a modern portrait telephoto.
Vintage Lens 35 Muted contrast, subtle corner darkening, and the organic softness of classic vintage glass.
Vintage Lens 50 Swirly bokeh, muted colour, and a timeless filmic quality — perfect for portraits and nostalgic storytelling.
Vintage Lens 85 Gentle flare, warm coating character, and dreamy subject rendering from classic portrait focal lengths.
Creative Lens 1 Warm, hazy tonality and painterly softness — inspired by experimental and specialty optics.
Creative Lens 2 Tilt-shift blurring and artistic depth shifts — for images that feel crafted rather than captured.
Creative Lens 3 Experimental rendering with unexpected tonal shifts — push your edit somewhere entirely new.

"I think this toolset will be a great addition to the collection. It is also fantastic to give you an idea of what images would look like with different focal lengths — and allows for real creative editing freedom."
