Mike - nice use of the lens for the story!

Barondla - I like the washed-dreamy effect you got on this take!

To keep the thread alive - some extreeeeeeme bending:

Hmm, I wonder why lensbabies never turn up in the marketplace. Does their owners simply love it THAT much? =)

I pick an original up on marketplace in late January.

YES!!!

Lensbabies take some getting used to initially, but once you are comfortable with them, they are very hard to put down.

Almost everytime you take a photo with a regular lens, you ask yourself, "How can I use my Lensbaby to make this photo different/better."

I love mine.

Great image Duh_Vinci. Very edgy abstract feel. Like the colors too. Well done. Like your extreeeeeme bending.

Yes, people like the Lens Baby that much. Amazed when selling them that no one has ever objected to using a manual focus lens! They never even think of it. Any other MF lens almost always gets that complaint. These lens are pure fun. Try one - with an open mind.
thanks

I must agree with barondla here.

Good image, D.

Nice flower images Duh_Vinci. Also, like your lenshood setup. Does it vignette at infinity? LB is suposed to bring out a hood/adapter thats 52mm

Trees in bloom. Pentax K20D, Composer, plastic optic.

Finally threw my 2.0 back in my camera bag last week, after a long period of sitting on a shelf.

I've thought about maybe selling it to help finance a Composer, but in addition to not having the $$$ at the moment I am also put off a tad bit by the fact that they no longer offer the option of M42 mount.

Mike Cash, love the available light image. Lens Babies really do beautiful things when the light is low. Very atmospheric.
Neat shot from the vehicle! Not the easiest way to use a LB. Can't imagine leaving mine behind for months at a time. It always stays in the camera bag.
thanks
