Description
Free your subjects from their background on full frame with delicious twisty, swirly blur. Twist 60’s vignette calls further attention to anything you place within the large central area of focus, for a timeless, vintage look.
True to an 1840 design by Joseph Petzval, this lens reveals striking separation between subjects and their background, a quality that modern lens designs lack.
Twist 60 is a metal-bodied, non-tilting lens that mounts directly to your camera and is recommended for use on full frame cameras only.
Twist 60 Optic, part of the Optic Swap System, is available separately for use in a tilting lens body. For best results, when used in a tilting lens body, keep the lens pointed straight ahead.
Twist 60 is available for Canon, Nikon F, and Sony E.

Hi Christina, Twist 60 will fit and work on Rebel cameras, however when used on APS-C sensor cameras like the Rebel series cameras much of the twisty, swirly effect gets cropped out.

Hi Deborah, The twisty effect is most noticeable when you have at least 2-3 feet separation from your subject and the background and when there is a lot of contrast and texture to your background.

Hi Anne-Marie, The Twist 60 Optic is compatible with the Scout. You may get additional flare due to the silver of the Scout’s lens body.

Hi Matthew, We do not have any examples of the Twist 60 tilted. When you tilt it more than a few degrees you get a hard vignette which is why we recommend using it pointed straight forward.

Hi Christine, Twist 60 is recommended for use with full frame cameras. At this time Fuji X does not make a full frame sensor camera, if they do we will consider it.
