Lens
Pick a lens from a 16-entry catalog (wide-angle, normal-50mm, telephoto, fisheye, anamorphic, …). Emits a lens-characteristic prompt fragment.
Overview
The Lens parameter node specifies the optical character of the camera in a generation — focal length, perspective, distortion behavior. Each entry encodes the visual signature of a focal length or specialty optic. Injected into the consumer’s prompt via the cinematography handle.

Inputs & Outputs
Inputs: in — optional upstream parameter input.
Outputs: out — composed prompt-hint clause, consumed by downstream AI nodes via their cinematography handle.
Common Use Cases
- Wide-angle environmental establishing shots.
- Telephoto for isolated-subject portraits.
- Anamorphic for cinematic widescreen feel.
- Tilt-shift for miniature/diorama aesthetic.
