Velvet 56 is a 56mm f/1.6 SLR camera lens with 1:2 macro capabilities.

Nature and macro photographers will find its close-focus capabilities, combined with effects varying from impressionistic to just a touch of velvety smoothness, provide a set of visual tools that will expand their vision of the world.Evoking the image style and construction quality of classic portrait lenses of the mid-20 th century, Velvet 56 features the heft and smooth, dampened manual focus of these early lenses. Velvet 56, with an all-metal body, is available in two colors: traditional black and a special silver edition, Velvet 56 SE. Velvet 56 SE features a beautiful clear-anodized finish, along with engraved aperture and focus markings.
