I had one for about a day before I put it up for sale on ebay. Was not my cup of tea. I tried for about 2 hours to get a usable pic with no luck.
My advice is to stay away. To hard to used and my photoshop can do everything they say it can do.
On a side note I got more for it on ebay then I paid.

I have one. I love it. It takes a little practice, but some shots can be made that are really cool. Here are a few of mine:

| I have one, for a couple of months now. I don't really get it out of my bag very often; I don't seem to get one point in focus, and that really bothers me. |

I bought a LenBaby 2.0 for Chiqui74 last month, and it's a fun lens to use! I'd definitely recommend them to anyone who doesn't mind not having all of their shot in perfect focus ;o)

i'm naturally drawn towards it as i tend to take strangely focused pictures of strange objects even with a normal lens. it definately is not a tool for precision work...you need a a tilt-shift or a bellows lens for that.

I really like the Lensbaby 2.0. I really haven't had time to use it like I want to but I do like it so far. I'd definitely recommend it, as a matter of fact I can't wait to shoot some portraits with it.

| There's a new macro attachment that you can add onto the lens baby to get closer. |

| I got one a few weeks ago but haven't had much free time to play with it. Hope to get shots from it soon! |

Didn't you say you "failed" at photography and are selling all of your stuff? No offense, but I find it hard to take advice like this from someone who admitted he was giving up and going home. |

Not sure if this post was before the selling thread. |

I've really enjoyed my Lensbaby. More than anything else, it gives me another way of looking at things:

And for those that say they can get the same effect in Photoshop, I'd double check that. I've seen pictures that were very close, but they've been missing the distortion. |
