LensBaby 2.0 « Thread Started on Aug 25, 2006, 1:32pm »
Since there appears to be not too much action here, I thought I'd start.
I've been shooting with a LensBaby 2.0 (http://www.lensbabies.com/), which is a manual lens. In fact, it's so "manual" that the aperture is a set of removable rings ranging from F/2.0 to F/8.0. It is a "selective focus" lens, much the same concept as the old bellows cameras, with the focus controled by compressing or expanding the bellows with your fingers. Very creative and very interesting results.

I got mine from the source: http://www.lensbabies.com/; I also found on on e-bay for $174... The price from LensBabies is only $150, so I'm not sure what the people on e-bay are smoking, .... but I'd like some.
Actually, there's another one on e-bay currently at $50, but with five days left, I'm sure it'll be bid up . Truely, the best place to get one would be from LensBabies itself. Then you don't have to hassle with the e-bay bidding and wondering what you'll really get.

What part makes no sense? It's a lens that performs a function that can't be reproduced via software on the back end (i.e. photoshop). It's a neat effect for closeup, macro, portrait, and landscape photography. It's an extension to depth-of-field.
It's a tool that you can add to your toolbox so that you can produce additional styles of photo.

Lensbabies make no sense to me.
