Purchased this for the wife and her Nikon dslr. Was surprised by how much she had to change on the camera - I think all of the settings. It's a good product, but be aware it's not "plug and play." She IS getting used to it, and learning her camera in the process. I would recommend it, though.

I first started out with a Lensbaby Composer and loved it. It is great for still shots or any shots where you will be taking time to get the details just right. It holds it's focus/sweet spot while you tweak settings or adjust a tripod. I found that when I was in situations where there was action to capture I was having limited success because I have a slow reaction time. I tried the Muse and it suits my abilities best when my subject is moving. Very simple - squeeze to focus. By having just one action I needed to take I was able to increase my reaction time. I like the Muse for shooting concerts, receptions, and sports. I love my Muse most of all for travel photography, where my subject may be still but I'm trying to move along quickly to see all that I can see while I'm in a new country. I prefer my Composer for portraits and macro but the Muse works best for me when I need to shoot spontaneously. As far as optic go, I have several and find myself using the double glass 98% of the time.

Sure, the Muse looks and acts like the Original Lensbaby. But, like the Composerand the Control Freak, this little baby comes with Lensbaby's new Optic Swap system-offering artists an almost unlimited variety of looks and styles to capture their unique visions.
All Lensbaby lenses bring one area of a photo into sharpest focus with that Sweet Spot surrounded by gradually increasing blur. Photographers focus the Muse by compressing the lens and move the sweet spot by bending the flexible lens tubing.
The Double Glass optic has a tack sharp sweet spot with minimal diffusion at all aperture settings.
