FUSION 2015 is just around the corner

Fusion is back for the 5th year and not only are we continuing to grow, we’re also on the move – we’re taking over the new and beautiful Anvil Centre in New Westminster. For the second year we’re teaming up with the Professional Photographers of Canada BC division as part of their weekend “PHOTOGraphie” event. PHOTOGraphie is British Columbia's only professional photography festival. The festival’s purpose is to inspire and share the value of photography through education, gallery exhibitions and salon competition.

 The scope of FUSION 2015 is to not only focus on the latest in DSLR video but also to include many aspects of still photography including lectures, demos and even a round-table discussion.

This year we will have 12 amazing speakers, each presenting 90 minute talks/Demo sessions running throughout the day. There will be a wide range of topics presented; from fine Art Digital Printing, Fashion and Still life Photography, the ins and outs of Destination Wedding Photography as well as Audio for film and Video, and Documentary film making, just to name a few. You are guaranteed to come away having learned something if you attend this year’s show.

LENSBABY! Big Savings now to May 15th!

NOTE! It is almost May 15th, so don't delay if you want to take advantage of this promotion!

Now until May 15, 2014 we have a new promotion running where you SAVE $115 on the purchase of the Lensbaby Composer Pro with Edge 80 Optic. If you’d like the whole Pro Effects Kit including the Composer Pro with the Edge 80 Optic, the Sweet 35 Optic, and macro converters now is the time to buy and SAVE $115! Or if you are looking to add the Edge 80 Optic to your Lensbaby system you can now SAVE $57.

Inject creativity and uniqueness into your portfolio with the Pro Effects Kit. This versatile kit provides a selective focus system solution for whatever type of photography you're shooting. From portraits and weddings to landscape and commercial photography - this kit is the top choice. By incorporating the Lensbaby creative effects lenses and optics, you can add a new dimension to your shots in-camera. Includes the Lensbaby Composer Pro with Sweet 35 Optic, the Edge 80 Optic, Macro Converters, Extra Large Lens Cleaning Cloth and the Lensbaby System Bag. 

The Lensbaby Composer Pro with Edge 80 is an all-in-one tilt photography solution for Canon and  Nikon DSLR shooters. This 80mm f/2.8 lens is compact, lightweight and affordable. Tilting the lens in any direction results in a slice of focus through your image, similar to the tilt effect in a tilt-shift lens. Incredibly versatile, choosing not to tilt the lens will make spectacular ‘straight’ photos - just as you’d get shooting with a ‘normal’ 80mm lens.

The Edge 80 Optic is a 80mm, flat field of focus optic with a 12-blade adjustable aperture and is compatible with all Lensbaby lens bodies*. When tilted, the Edge 80 delivers a slice of tack sharp focus through the image, bordered by soft blur. When pointed straight ahead, the Edge 80 can be used just like a high-quality straight lens.  Don't already own a Lensbaby lens body? You'll need one to put your Edge 80 into - we recommend the Composer Pro with Double Glass or the Composer Pro with Sweet 35.

*Macro Converters are required to use Edge 80 with Composer with Tilt Transformer (for mirrorless cameras).
