Thanks Duh Vinci! You have an amazing flair for Lensbaby shooting! i was very impressed looking through the thread seeing your shots! Those new additions are beautifully atmospheric.

I was wanting to use a Lensbaby on my P67II or my P645. Does anyone know if they make one to fit these cameras?

They had produced a 100mm-ContolFreak for a short period of time, but meanwhild stopped it - only chance is to get a used one.

I found one some weeks ago in the states but it is still at a friends home over there waiting to be brought over to my 67&645 - I am really cutiouse how it will work.......

Captainbert you have some fine images. The atmosphere makes them special. You are on the path to many LB insights.

Duh vinci, great images as usual. Fave is the trees. Very original background foreground pairing. An Olympus! You have been busy. Have to get mine out now.

Everyone is entering terrific shots. Keep them coming. Keep playing.
thanks

Meanwhile I got my Lensbaby for the 6x7 Pentax - handling seems to be quite tricky.
I exposed my 1ST roll of film and wait now to get it developed....I am really curiouse

Very nice images, Duh_Vinci; the first two have an infrared feel to them.

Klaus123, it's good to meet another Pentax 6x7 user.

Here's a photo of mine. They are great cameras!



I really need to think of a new theme for my Lensbaby.

Klaus123 can't wait to see your thoughts on the 6X7 Lensbaby and images. Have never seen one. How about a pic of it on the big Pentax?

Nice 6X7 Mike Bokeh. Also have two- love them. No Lensbaby though. Will have to live with 35mm film, APS-c, 4/3, m4/3, and Pentax Q for LB goodness.
thanks

Additionally I have a techical question to the experienced Lensbaby-Users: Do you usually use you Lensbaby fully opened or do you use the aperture inserts? If YES in which situations and what apertures?

Hello

Meanwhile the Film is developed and scanned and here are my first shots. I am quite hapy with these initial results - what do you think?

All other pictures are at my Homepage

Klaus, I have four photos of a guitar taken with my Lensbaby 3-G at the top of page 14 of this thread.

I used f8.0, f5.6, f4.0 and f2.0, wide open.

If you go there, you can see the differences the aperture discs make as opposed to using a Lensbaby wide open.

To answer your question, f4.0 is my favorite aperture on my Lensbaby, because it gives a nice balance of the Lensbaby blurring effect and a reasonably sharp image.

I find that if I use f2.8 or f2.0, the image can be a little too soft and mushy for my liking.

This is a general rule which I don't always follow.

Lensbabys were made to be experimented with.

Nice photos you have there.

Mike

Thank you Mike - the picture of the guitar are a good orientation - for my "big one" (open aperture 100mm, 1: 4,0) this would mean 8.0 might be a good starting point - right?

Yes, I think so.

Begin at f8.0, and then try f5.6, then f4.0, and see which one you like.

I feel that when using an aperture of f8.0 or smaller, you don't see as much of the Lensbaby effect as you do at f5.6 or larger.

Try taking photos of a still life subject with the camera on a tripod, and use all the aperture discs, then see which one gives you the effect you like best.

I'm affraid that is the digital approach - a 6x7 has only 10 pitures per roll of film

I know, I also have a 6x7.

Good luck.
