It is a cool product and has some great capabilities. It is a good way to try something new, and helps bring new ideas to the table. It just might be able to get you out of a potential creative slump.

Comments about Lensbabies Lensbaby Composer Tilt & Focus Ball & Socket type Selective Focus Lens with Optic Swap System, for Canon EF Mount SLR's:
The Lensbaby Composer is a great tool for very specific uses. I bought it mainly as a DSLR video lens, to allow depth-of-field manipulation while shooting video interviews and B-Roll. It takes a little practice to learn to control the Lensbaby, but it does exactly what you'd expect and allows some very quick run-n-gun shooting while capturing unique images. There is a tendency to over-use a tool like this, but if you're careful, you can come back with pleasing, useful results.
The Lensbaby is well-constructed and I never feel like it's anything less than a professional lens. The focus control is far looser than any other lens I own, but once you get used to it, there really is no issue. In fact, the looseness seems to work best if you are using the lens for video capture.

Comments about Lensbabies Lensbaby Composer Tilt & Focus Ball & Socket type Selective Focus Lens with Optic Swap System, for Canon EF Mount SLR's:
I love the Lensbaby products. The easiest way to explain this lens is that its a point and shoot version of the Control Freak. You can pick it up, quickly focus, and shoot. The optic swap system makes this lens incredibly versatile, allowing you to quickly switch between fisheye, macro, or a bunch of other options. If you're on the fence between this and the Control Freak as your first Lensbaby lens, get the Composer if you're going to be in the field more than in the studio.
