Photographers who have been attracted to Lensbaby's series of special effecs lenses, but couldn't quite decide on commiting to one, will love the Trio 28. It's priced attractively, at the same cost or less than any single dedicated lens.

Three special effects lenses in one; Slim design; Focuses to 8 inches; Available for multiple systems; Supports full-frame cameras

In our Lensbaby Velvet 85 review , we casually mentioned that it was like three lenses in one, but the Lensbaby Trio 28 is literally that.

Unless you're completely new to photography, you've heard about Lensbaby, the marvelously creative series of lenses that are best described as intentionally unsharp and stuffed with almost every imaginable aberration and distortion. The Lensbaby Trio 28 is the latest model, and it has a secret.

3 lenses in 1...for that price you cannot beat that. It depends what you are looking for, but this little lense which I must admit I have only used indoors for now has produced some sweet photos. Need to take it outdoors. I combined it to my Fuji XT-2.

If you have a micro 4/3 camera you might want to think twice and do a lot of research to see if this lens is a good match for you. I got this lens for my Olympus PEN E-PL5. The lenses' effects did not come out as I took pictures with them. I was really disappointed.

Fun lens. Love using it.
