What actually is it? Well, it’s not technically a lens. The Lensbaby Obscura doesn’t have lens elements or an aperture like a standard lens but offers a Pinhole, Zone Plate and Pinhole Sieve for you to easily switch between depending on your scene. These types of pinholes pose a truly creative and technical photographic challenge as it is not as simple snapping a photo as you usually would - There are fewer choices and those choices involve a delicate balancing act between light and dark and can produce unique flare and distortions that aren’t possible to capture in-camera with standard lenses. Unlike most pinholes, Lensbaby’s Obscura is made up of three layers of chrome with a 0.00014mm thickness deposited on 1.5mm thick glass, and then an anti-reflective coating. This pinhole lens offers a wide-angle 16mm focal length and is able to create ethereal and dream-like images. Set up your tripod, your long exposure and let the light pour in.

FAQs:
What do the three types of pinhole offer?
So, the lens offers a Pinhole, Zone Plate & Pinhole Sieve. The pinhole is not technically a lens that offers a clear, round hole to let light in. The pinhole sieve is a field of pinholes with the centre pinhole being the largest and increasingly smaller pinholes radiating away from the centre. Finally, there’s the zone plate that offers a series of clear circular rings surrounding a centre hole with each of the clear zones equaling the area of the pinhole in the centre resulting in increasingly thinner zones as you move away from the centre of the zone plate. All three options offer different levels of image detail and different looks to the photos you can take.
What is the maximum aperture?
Well, seeing as there are no aperture blades there’s just the single pinhole. The Zone Plate offers an f22; Pinhole Sieve f45 and the Pinhole offers a maximum aperture of f90. Because of this, you have to set up your camera for long exposures.
What is the minimum focusing distance?
Your minimum focusing distance differs between all three shooting options: The Zone Plate: 0.6m, Pinhole Sieve: 0.3m and the Pinhole: 0.05m.
Can I clean the lens like my standard lenses?
Unlike most pinholes that are literally just a hole in a sheet of metal, the Lensbaby Obscura’s pinhole is protected by a 1.5mm thick glass plate that can be cleaned as you usually would your lenses.

Buy now pay later
The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
