Extend your Lensbaby
Your Lensbaby will not communicate
electronically with your camera’s meter-
ing system. Determine the proper expo-
sure based on the following guidelines:
Canon EOS cameras are usable in
manual or aperture priority modes. In
Av mode your EOS camera will set the
appropriate shutter speed based solely
on the amount of light entering the lens.
Flash photography with Canon cameras
and flashes must be done with the flash
in manual mode.
Nikon N50, N55, N60, N65, N70, N75,
N80, D40, D50, D70, D80, D100 Kodak
Light metering
f/2.8 Achieves a diffused, almost
impressionistic look
f/4 Sharper than the f/2.8, but
still slightly diffused
f/5.6 Quite sharp, but still has
glowing highlights and
subtle prismatic color shifts
f/8 A sharper look, but still
has soft edges
7 Aperture options
(Original Lensbaby) 14N, ProN, and Fuji S Series cameras have
no TTL ambient light metering when used
with a Lensbaby. Set these cameras to
manual exposure mode and shoot a test
photo to determine optimal exposure
based on your review of that image. Most
other Nikon bodies will meter ambient
light through the lens in aperture priority
mode, including the F Series bodies, the
D200, D1X and the D2X. When using your
Nikon’s flash, use the speedlight’s Auto
mode to automatically determine flash
exposure while shooting with the camera
set to manual exposure mode.
Pentax K1000, K10D, K100D, K110D and
* ist DS cameras, Olympus 4/3 mount, Samsung GX-1S, Panasonic Lumix DMC-
L1, and almost all other SLR cameras can
achieve metering through the lens while
shooting in aperture priority mode.
Leica film cameras will meter through
the lens. The Leica Digilux 3 will meter
through the lens but in order to allow
the Digilux to fire with a lens that
doesn’t communicate electronically with
your camera (like the Lensbaby), you
must go into the Custom Menu Settings,
page 4 and set “No Release without
Lens” to “OFF”.
