- The Lensbaby 0.6X wide angle lens converts your Lensbaby’s 50mm focal length to 30mm, while keeping the Sweet Spot the same size as a Lensbaby photo taken without a wide angle conversion lens. Other wide angle conversion lenses shrink the sweet spot.
- You can unscrew the rear lens element for use as a macro lens that focuses as close as 2″ to 3″ from your subjects.
- The wide angle lens is the sharpest wide angle conversion lens we have tested with a Lensbaby.
- The Lensbaby 0.6X Wide Angle/Macro Conversion Lens is fully compatible with all Lensbaby SLR lenses.

Amazon.com Product Description
The Lensbaby 0.6x Wide Angle/Macro conversion lens allows you to change the effective focal length to 30mm from the standard 50mm on all Lensbaby lenses. It also allows you to unscrew the rear lens element for use as a macro lens that focuses 2 to 3 inches from your subject. While standard wide angle conversion lenses shrink the sweet spot when used with a Lensbaby, the 0.6x wide angle conversion lens has a unique optical design that widens the field of view while keeping the size of the sweet spot constant relative to the size of the photo. It’s compatible with all Lensbaby lenses–Lensbaby 3G, Lensbaby 2.0, and Original Lensbaby.

This lens really opens up the creative possibilities of the Lensbaby. It’s also great if you think the Lensbaby by itself isn’t quite weird-looking enough.
That said, it’s not a dramatic wide-angle. And if you want macro I’d recommend the more useful Lensbaby macro kit instead.
The only downside to this lens is that you have to unscrew it to get at the aperture (at least with the 3G, I’m not sure about other models), but there’s really nothing they could do to fix this.
All in all this is a well-made, high-quality piece of glass. Highly recommended.
