Lensbaby - Anybody use them?

Just stumbled across these lately, does anyone use them? They're a range of tilt-shift lens, optics and accessories. Not sure I even like tilt-shift photos but the setups are interesting!!

They were all the rage a few years ago. They are fun things to play with, definitely worth considering.

Have the basic one, very tricky to use but great fun and nice effects when you can nail it.

Wouldn't really call them a real tilt shift tho, more along the lines of selective sweet spot - not sure they can give the tilt-shift "minature" effect?.....or maybe they can?

I think you can do tilt-shift with some of them alright but the majority do seem to be selective focusing. Which one is yours shay?

I've the Muse, because its tricky I dont use it nearly often enough. I'm definitely thinking about upgrading to one of the others.

Looking at the site there looks like the do have a more tilt-shift one on the way - "Composer with Tilt Transformer" - allowing you add a Nikon lens to it!

I really need to use it more!
