Was looking at them earlier this year. I guess they'd be a handy investment if you had money to spare and a use for them. I'll invest in one when I have a spare few bob about during the summer, but I can't see them as an essential item. I'd imagine your shots would have to be very very planned.

either that or very, very random. yeah, just thought they looked interesting.

for the price it looks like fun...but for how long...

I think they are too expensive...

I'm not entirely convinced by the effect though.. Most of the shots end up having a 70's kitsch soft focus cheesy wedding photo look... But then i suppose thats down to the people who are taking the pics.

DDOI (Daily Dose of Imagery) has done a number of shots with the Lensbaby, some interesting ones.

Here's a sample. Do a search for Lensbaby on the site for more.

Im not a huge fan of em really.

The effect is a bit clichéd really, wedding shots as was said!

There's a pretty interesting article somewhere on www.photo.net on them.

The selective focusing is pretty handy alright, and I would imagine it would come accross quite handy if you were in a studio/portrait situation.

Photojunkie (www.photojunkie.ca) also comes up with some interesting lensbaby stuff sometimes. I thought about getting one a few months back to mess around with but haven't done anything about it as yet.
