A unique short telephoto with distinct classic appeal, the Nikon F-mount Velvet 85mm f/1.8 from Lensbaby produces a mid-20th century-inspired image quality that is well-suited to portraiture. Characterized by a smooth, glowing aesthetic, this lens's softness can be controlled by stopping down in order to produce a range of effects from soft and dreamy to sharper and crunchier at smaller apertures. A 12-blade diaphragm also contributes to the lens's aesthetic, and helps to produce a smooth bokeh quality to suit shallow depth of field imagery. Additionally, the manual focus design affords a working distance of 9.5" with a maximum reproduction ratio of 1:2 to benefit working with close-up subjects.

Short telephoto portrait-length lens is designed for FX-format Nikon F-mount DSLRs, however it can also be used with DX models where it provides a 127.5mm equivalent focal length.
Bright f/1.8 maximum aperture affords greater control over depth of field for working with shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques, and also benefits working in low-light conditions.
Inspired by classic portrait lenses from the mid-20th century, this lens is designed to produce an ethereal glowing quality with soft, smooth tonality that is well-suited to portraiture.
Softness can be controlled by stopping-down the lens: when stopped-down to f/16, the image exhibits a smooth quality with greater central sharpness.
A working distance of 9.5" along with a 1:2 reproduction ratio suits working with close-up subjects.
Manual focus design with a smooth, dampened focusing movement is complemented by engraved focus distance indicators.
A 12-blade diaphragm contributes to a smooth bokeh quality that is ideal for selective focus imagery.

Great for shed organizing
Size: 4.5", Style: Open, Size: 4.5", Style: Open
We recently upgraded to a conex/shipping container/metal shed and needed a way to organize all of our yard tools. These work great, the weight holds a lot of items, could be a little longer but we were impressed with them holding everything for over a month now and not moving.

Good product. Know the limits.
Size: 6 Inch, Style: Open
These are very nice. Sure beats drilling holes in your steel. However, 45lb is a stretch. Will easily hold 25lbs. However 35+ is a stretch, especially if your walls shift a little due to be close to a door. Will definitely order more, just important to understand the limits. Thanks.

Finally, a product that meets all of its advertised claims!
It seems to me like this product is always out of stock. Of the ones I have received and been able to use. They work as advertised and hold an incredible amount of weight. It is very easy to put them on and off, but once they are latched down, you could not remove them by hand without bending the hooks I would like to have a few more boxes to use in my steel building.

Magnet hooks you need!
Size: 4.5", Style: Open
I have been using these all over our shop and helps keep chords, tools and other items off the floor and more organized. I like the ease of the magnet, and it looks like. Built to last. I wish they were not so expensive.
