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.

Great fun on full frame cameras
Very sharp when focused correctly, focus ring is smooth. Seems well built but still light. The effect can be dizzying. If You use a crop sensor camera, don’t bother. But if You have a full frame (consider the 35mm in the bottom of the closet), then I say buy this if You like the look of the sample pictures. Mine has some play between the optic and lens body but does not seem to affect picture quality. Only other gripe is the aperture scale is underneath so You have to turn Your camera mostly upsidedown to read it. Over all very happy with this lens

Please visit our Twist 60 comparison page to see the difference when using a Twist 60 on a full-frame sensor vs. a crop sensor camera: https://wparchive.lensbaby.com/twist-60-full-frame-vs-crop-sensor/. If you are using an adapter like the Speedbooster, it will give you a full frame view on a crop sensor camera, and with this optic you should get the full twisty bokeh.
