The Burnside 35 is a great lens for all around photography. Not only do you get the various Lensbaby effects at wider apertures but you also have a great regular lens at smaller apertures. It's very versatile. It can be used for portraits, landscapes, street photography and anything else you care to shoot.

I'd been wanting this lens, but the manufacturer (Lensbaby) no longer offers it in a sony a-mount, so I was very pleased to find it here at a discount price. This lens isn't for everyone. It's manual focus only, and is a Petzval Lens, an old technology that makes photos with a retro look. It's brighter at cent an has a swirly bokeh around the edges. I love it's look, but others may not.

This is really a terrific lens in so many ways. You can get almost macro close without an adapter. The light is wonderful. It performs well in low light.

Order was processed quickly and accurately. Lens works at all lower apertures. Have not tried to go above f5, otherwise you start to lose the desired bokeh effect.Would recommend for those who are adventurous.

Fun lens to experiment with and try to be creative. I don’t find focusing difficult with AF Peaking on.

Bought this lens after researching it for a bit and I have to say that it’s as good as everyone says it is. The swirl looks great when I was able to amfix my focus. The only adjustment for me is the manual focus but that’s something I could deal with.

I have two other Lensbabys (composer pro35 and Velvet56) I love them all - each are very different. The Burnside is a little more complex - not in the way it operates but it the creative expression it can give. I have only had it for a short time but it is fun, feisty so far I really like what it can do!

I love the 35mm focal length and controllable vignette. I have taken this out on my 5D a few times now and am really enjoying the results.
