Lensbaby is known for producing unique and special optical effects, and with the OMNI Creative Filter System, they have created a fun and practical way to shoot through objects in order to create colorful flare, reflections, and bright, ethereal light streaks. Differing from a creative lens, the OMNI system is a method for placing objects, such as crystals, films, and other translucent substrates, in front of your lens to produce distinct effects. Additionally, by having these objects attached to the front of your lens, instead of hand-holding them, you can achieve more repeatable and predictable results.

This Small system is designed for lenses with filter threads ranging from 49-58mm, and comprises a filter ring with a 58mm thread, along with step-up rings for 55mm, 52mm, and 49mm sizes. Included with the ring are three Effect Wands (Crystal Seahorse, Stretch Glass, and Rainbow Film), along with two arms for holding the objects and two magnets for securing the arms to the filter ring.
