Lensbaby has introduced a new system of selective focus lenses - the Composer, Muse, and Control Freak. The new Muse and the new Control Freak replace the current Original, Lensbaby 2.0, and Lensbaby 3G lenses, which will be phased out immediately. In addition, each of the three lenses features the new Lensbaby Optic Swap system.
