This can be done in camera, using a heart shaped hole in a spare lens cap. Divide the focal length by the max aperture, and make sure the shaped hole is smaller. With your taste in long, fast glass, you'd be spoiled for choice
I think the LB is somewhat indispensable were you're after artistic isolation and other tilt effects
