Creative Tilt Lens

The Lensbaby Sol 45mm f/3.5 mounts on Sony E-mount cameras and delivers a fixed f/3.5 aperture with manual focus. Its metal body tilts up to 8.5° so photographers can isolate a subject and surround it with smooth blur. Two adjustable bokeh blades add optional texture to out-of-focus areas.

Thermals Noise Power

This is a passive manual lens with no electronics, so it generates no heat and makes no noise during use. It draws no power from the camera body and adds negligible weight to the system. Operation stays completely silent in any environment.

Macro Filter Kit

The bundled 46mm macro filter set includes +1, +2 and +4 dioptre close-up lenses that thread onto the front of the Sol 45. Each filter reduces the minimum focusing distance for tighter magnification. Stacking them together increases the effect further for extreme close-up work.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the Sol 45mm f/3.5 to my Sony E-mount body and what step is often missed?

Mount the lens by aligning the red dot on the barrel with the camera’s index mark and twisting until it clicks. The step many miss is engaging the centre-lock lever to lock the tilt at zero degrees before shooting.

What maintenance or replacement will the 46mm macro filter set need over time?

The +1, +2 and +4 close-up filters have no moving parts and require no scheduled service. Replace an individual filter only if its glass becomes scratched or the threads are damaged.

What is the first limit I will hit when tilting the lens continuously during a long session?

The tilt mechanism stops at 8.5°; once that angle is reached the lens cannot tilt further until you reverse the movement.
