keenevision Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I recently found this very interesting lens called a "Lensbabie" and find it really spurs my creative thought.... well made and while it takes a bit of getting used to, I find that it becomes very intuitive very quickly. I use it on my 10d and can't wait to use it during some of my upcoming wedding shoots.... see my profile/photo page for examples... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenevision Posted March 30, 2004 Author Share Posted March 30, 2004 here you can view samples of this- BTW, I am not an employee of "Lensbabie", just a happy customer! http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=387254 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
art_haykin Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I give up! Just what is a lensbabie and what does it purport to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim_pedone Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 I did a Google search. Check out http://www.lensbabies.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan_gage Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Well duh Art! Just from looking at the pictures he posted and the name (lensbabie) it obviously inserts pictures of little kids (babies) into all your pictures. ;-) Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demetri_p. Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Looks like a "holga-izer"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_s Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Well . . . a Holga is like your car is a Lada. A 'Lensbaby' is like your car is a Porsche, but you've stuffed a sock in the exhaust, so it drives like a Lada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacsa Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 :o)you guys are way too gear-oriented. What's the most important component of your phot setup? The SUBJECT (sorry Bob) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian_diaz Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 The most important part of MY photo setup is the photographer. Luckily for me he has both talent and knowledge of the gear at his disposal. The combination of these is much more important than the subject.

john_kim12 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 I personally think this is cool. Not sure if I want to spend $90+ on it at the moment, but like Bob said, it sounds "fun." You don't have to constantly be anguishing artists. You're allowed to have fun every once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew robertson Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 $90 for a frickin accordion tube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brainbubba_motornapkins Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Can't you get similar results by smearing vaseline around a uv filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucas_griego Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I don't get it - $90 bucks for what can be accomplished more effectively with a spare filter and a bit of vaseline. Someone is laughing all the way to the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keenevision Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 Lucas- you are soooo wrong.the ability to pick the focus point can't be achieved with 'vaseline'.BTW, the Lensbabies are being used by LOTS of PJ's too. I've seen them in Sports Illust, World News, The New York Times, etc. etc. etc. and now Lensbabie f2,0!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
