Anyone has Lensbaby 2.0? Any personal feedback on how you like it with your Pentax body? Photo samples?

Winter here is usually pretty dull and boring, need a little "creative entertainment" lens I think...

Regards,

I have one. Got it a month or two ago. It's nice but nothing spectacular. It's another interesting lens effect, like using a macro or shallow DOF. I don't really see much difference on my Pentax body from using one on a Canon body. Its about the same. Getting the lens off my K10D is a little trouble because there's very little to grab onto at the base of the lens but it doesn't prevent lens changes or anything like that. Just a little more effort is involved.

I have a very few images here:

Good info, thank you very much for the feedback, certainly appreciate it! Went ahead and ordered one from B&H just for fun...

Being standard K-mount, I guess it is safe to assume I can use my manual extension tubes with it just as with any other K lens? I think it can be fun to do some very selective closeups...

Regards,
D
