Damn it, please stop this thread. All I need is to want one more new lens. I love this stuff, hits me where it hurts (lens envy)

Ok, assuming I had some money. Do I want the Original, Muse, Control Freak, or Composer series? Save me some time in researching, what's best for the $ ?

I have the Composer. I bought it because I thought it would be the easiest to use, and I didn't want to get frustrated with a Lensbaby (my 2cents). People either love the blur or hate the blur. You seem to like the effect, so you gotta get one. You'll have lots of fun.

Check out the Lensbaby gallery if you haven't already. I saw a lot of Zigomar's LB pics when I first found DPC. His pics influenced me to get one.

Not so prolific at the moment, but here's one I took at the Winter Garden in Helsinki. It may not be the last from this venue.

Thanks for the nice words. I'm awfully sorry that I'm not with you in this one, but I have more important things right now. I just moved to London and I'm still settling in, and it might take a while. I'll try to take a glimpse from time to time... Cheers ;-)

Sounds like you have a full plate. I look forward to great pics of London and that part of Europe when you've settled in. Take care.

Wow, Zigomar, in London, with a Lensbaby, now these I look forward to seeing! Maybe time for a London GTG sometime early 2010?

Darnit. I was hoping to put some pressure on Zigomar this morning and tell him he needed to get busy with that Lensbaby again...I had it, but the score tumbled the last couple of days. Guess I'll have to settle for 2nd. :-)

Lensbaby 2.0

My apologies for the sidetrack ... at least it was LB related. :-P

Wow, thanks - honestly, I thought I'd be trying everyone's patience with a monotonous topic. I put a lot of them out there at once so they could be gotten over with, like pulling off a Band Aid. That being said, I do have a couple more in the hopper... :)

I have the Composer with the plastic, single glass, double glass, and zone plate/pinhole optics, but to tell the truth, my favorite is the old Lensbaby 2.0 tilt and shift. For me it's a lot faster to work with and the results are more unpredictable which (for me) is half the fun.

It looks like the closest to the 2.0 is the Muse with your choice of plastic or double glass optic. Personally, I haven't been that crazy about the plastic optic in the Composer -- it's just too soft, IMNSHO.

I've been visiting relatives in Tucson for a few days -- took lots of pictures, but didn't get the Lensbaby out that much. 8( This is a faux Lensbaby done on an iPhone while killing time in the Phoenix airport.

Getting quite experimental with the processing cut-ups at the moment.
