A world in your hand

You can certainly do it in a Lensball, it allows you to take refraction photos, which reveal the background scene within the ball.

This photographic technique has now become so popular with both armatures and professional photographers. You can never imagine how fun crystal ball reflection photography is.

Lensball is made only with premium-grade K9 crystal to deliver the best purity and gloss. Every ball is extensively inspected for imperfections. Only one out of four passes this test.

know the limitations. enjoy
Limitations of physics….Yes, the K9 lensball is heavy with the 80mm version weighing a hefty 650g. That’s not a complaint. It’s a simple fact of physics.Yes, lenses bend light, and in the case of a sphere vs the sun, that light can be focused to a point. The focal point for this lens is about 1cm outside the lens in the position opposite the light source. In the Florida summer sun, your hand will start to appreciate the heat in less than 3 seconds of exposure. You can use it in the sun provided you avoid placing fingers or what not at the point of the globe opposite the sun. Don’t leave it unattended in the sunlight.Depth of range is greatly influence by your distance from the ball. The further away you are, the greater the depth of range. When you’re close to the lensball, depth of range will minimize until only the center of the image will appear in focus. But at the same time, this changes how much of the image is occupied by the lensball. One can also adjust their F-stop to address the depth of range. I find that the best of both worlds is achievable when I shoot with the lensball occupying about 10% of the image field and then crop the picture to taste.Limitations of use….If you haven’t noticed, most of the pictures are taken whilst somebody is holding the lensball in their hand. Like you need another picture of your left hand? Consider finding alternative perches. Be creative.Also, the repeated handling covers the lens in fingerprints. Pack the lens in an oversized soft cloth and wipe it down for prints before each use. Use the same cloth to conceal it while out in the sun.When shooting landscapes, the real horizon looks best if it aligns with the horizon within the lens. This means you’re shooting at horizontally into the lens for every landscape shot. Likewise, if you want to shoot up into a tree or building, one should consider an approach steep enough to avoid seeing the horizon in the lens.You can also magnify small object. Ants look like giants when about 1cm opposite from the shooting position. Objects closer than this can create a kaleidoscope effect which can look cool but may be difficult for the camera to focus upon.Mostly I find use for the lensball when I’m faced with a mediocre subject and want to add some panache to it. Or if my primary camera is tied up on a long-exposure shot, I’ll breakout a secondary camera and a lensball to pass the time.Considering its weight and limitations of use, it only accompanies me on photo shoots where the burden of photographic equipment is shared by multiple persons.I personally suspect that the use of lensballs (and similar products) will be a transient fad. Likewise, I predict that upcoming generations of phone-based photo software allow somebody to create this effect within a normal picture.The images shown were taken using an iPhone and have not been edited or altered.

**edit**
These can bounce and roll! Knocked it up pretty good today when it tried to be a bird but ended up bouncing down a cliff. Best part is? I might still try to use it. Think I will have to reorder but it didn’t shatter and until I can get a new one, it might actually be useable as certain angles. I hope. Love this thing. Ps. REALLY hard to find once you half leap down a cliff for it.
****

Best used with a macro lens, the Lensball has been a lot of fun to learn how to use. While I have the fear of causing knicks and chips in it because I don't do the 'handheld' type photos, it has been fun finding ways to make up for that with random things found within the area I am shooting. It takes practice, but well worth the buy.

Yes, it's heavy, and being in Seattle we don't have the powerful light that other buyers have had to deal with so the magnification of the light into fire hasn't happened I can see how it would. I plan on buying the smaller size for traveling further than around my own town, so looking forward to seeing the difference in that.

It was shipped quickly. It was shipped well. There was not a scratch and the box is not only beautiful but also very good for storage when not in use.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great optical clarity and can create some interesting shots!
Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2019
I ordered this about a year ago and after having spent some time with it I can say I am still happy with the purchase. I did see some competitors that looked similar for almost half the price, but I saw far more people praising the optical clarity of the original Lensball and so I went with this rather than take a gamble. While I don't have a cheaper reference to compare it to, I can say that the clarity of this is excellent.

Pros:
- You can create some really unique and interesting shots.
- It resolves detail well and there is no haziness/cloudiness if you zoom in on the image inside the Lensball.
- Very well packaged and wouldn't be worried about it arriving damaged in transport.
- Very solid feeling and doesn't seem to scratch easily (accidentally dropped it around 5ft into dirt/grass and no scratches or chips after picking it up).
- Perfectly spherical.

Cons:
- To be expected, but this is a large, solid chunk of glass/crystal and it weighs more than you might think. As much as many of my lenses for sure.
- This is just the physics of light I guess, but I saw a lot of images with the reflection and background both right side up and am realizing they were done in photoshop. In general the inside image will be upside down to what you're seeing, and you'll have to flip the image if you want it right side up which can look weird depending on what you have in the background.
- Sometimes difficult to get a sharp in focus shot without a tripod.

Overall it's a very fun addition to add to the photography tool kit, but not something you'll likely use all the time. You'll want to use a macro lens or one that can focus close if you want the ball and scene inside it to be the main subject of the shot.

Also, be careful where you leave this thing and what you leave it on if exposed to direct sunlight; it acts like a magnifying glass on steroids when it comes to focusing sun rays into a hot point and could definitely be used to start a fire on sunny day (just make sure it's intentional if you do ;)). Best to put back in the protective pouch when not in use.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 8, 2018
Went on hollidays to Marrakesh and fancied taking the 60mm Lensball I had just ordered with me. I had never used one but I think the photos speak for themselves. Easy to use and spectacular results when you choose your subject and light conditions properly.
Also got the 80mm one but haven’t tried it yet, it’s a bit heavy for travelling but believe will get even better results. The smaller one fits unobstrusivelly in your pocket, though.
Only issue is a Lensball stand is publicised to be included in package - it isn’t, neither in the 60 nor the 80mm one. But for flawless built construction and packaging plus ease of use my rating 5* anyway.

Excellent quality and comes in a nice box and bag for storage. I’m glad I paid a little bit more for this brand as I’ve seen mixed reviews for some of the cheaper ones. Beware you can burn yourself or start a fire with these things in direct sunlight! The photo is my first attempt using it and I’m looking forward to experimenting more.
