Designed specifically for mirrorless camera users, I have been using mine with my Fuji XT-1 and XT-2 they work beautifully together . The Trio 28 features three selective focus optics in one compact lens design. I love the Trio 28’s wide 28mm focal length its perfect for capturing interesting street scenes, landscapes, environmental portraits, and more. Simply rotate a dial to choose your inspiration from our most popular creative optical effects.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
I have been a Lensbaby user for manny years using multiple lenses in my creative work. Part of the attraction of the Lensbaby series—beyond the creative capabilities—is the modular construction that allows the user to swap out the components to change up the results.

Lensbaby calls this Optic Swap. So from the same lensses you get multiple effects and options, The Trio 28 goes this approach three folds better. It consists of three separate and distinct optics that are mounted on a rotating turret.
staying in line with other Lensbaby Products , the Trio brings you three Lensbaby favorites all in one spot , The Twist , Velvet and Sweet .
- Twist gives you a large sharp central area of focus surrounded by twisty, swirling bokeh
- Velvet has a sharp yet dreamy central area of focus with delicate glow from edge-to-edge
- Sweet creates a sharp central sweet spot of focus surrounded by gradually increasing blur
Conclusion
[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you’re a regular Lensbaby user, you’ll appreciate getting three optics for the price of one. But that’s only part of the reason to buy one. The three optics give you greater creative flexibility all wrapped up in one lens. I also love the small coompact size of the Trio 28 , this alows me to add three extra lenses in the space of one tiny lens .[/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”15744″ img_size=”large”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Pros
