Lensbaby Announces Color Expansion Pack for Omni Filter System
24 October 2019
Lensbaby has announced a Color Expansion Pack for its Omni Creative Filter System launched in June.
"Color is a key element to establishing mood," Craig Strong, Lensbaby chief creative officer and co-founder, said. "These multi-color crystals, films and gels allow you to inject a vast range of different tones to dramatically or subtly change the mood in your scene.
"Color Expansion Pack tools let you paint in a wide range of colors and reflections, channeling the look of expired film, light leaks and more. The same scene and framing can have a completely new feel and mood depending on which Color Pack tools you mount to the front of your Omni Filter."
The Color Expansion Pack expands the tools in the original set to introduce more color and mood into your images. It includes two multi-color crystals, two sets of multi-color films, one set of color gels and a diffraction film that creates crisscross rainbows.
THE KIT
Contents, which all fit in a slim custom-designed pouch, include:
- A Crystal Multicolor Teardrop and Crescent wand, each with a unique spectral coating resulting in constantly changing prismatic colors on top of the crystals' multi-faceted fractal effects
- Set of five smooth-surface Lumi Films in a range of colors and hues which add color, light leaks, expired film effects & more
- Set of four textured Lumi Films which create flare effects from the texture, also in a range of colors and hues which add color, light leaks and expired film effects
- Set of five Color Gels, each of which adds a single swath of color overlay
- Crisscross Rainbow film that creates a patterned rainbow effect
- Two Effect Wand handles to hold the gels and films
PRICE, AVAILABILITY
The Color Expansion Pack is available for pre-order from Lensbaby now for $59.95. The Omni Creative Filter System retails for $99.95 and the Crystal Expansion Pack retails for $49.95.
