Get Artsy
I like to use it for photographing people; mostly engagements and weddings outdoors as you need a lot of light for it to work well (it's all manual). I have days when it works great, and days where I can't get a decent shot. Could be me...it takes practice, but I really like it when it works!

Learning curve.
Makes you learn how to use your camera on manual. Great fun once you get accustomed to changing setting.

Not up to expectations
I bought the lensbaby with the macro kit, .6 wide, 1.6 tele and 52mm Adapter/Shade. Unfortunately the accessories only mount on the lens and can't be used in combination. So, no macro and 1.6 tele or .6 wide and filter. Also cheaply made, focus mechanism is jerky and the tilt lock changes the focus. When you add up the total cost, it's also expensive.

High Quality Images
It's not a toy, it's a great lens that makes you think what you really want to achieve. The quality of the images is more than I expected and is forcing me to improve my skills as a photographer, to plan ahead what I want to achieve, the only downside I see to it is that is difficult to focus in low light conditions.

nice toy
It makes an interesting effect, which can be nice sometimes. It can be nice as a creative tool, to spark creative ideas. However, it's cheap plastic, cheaply made. I think it should cost half as much as it does, or less.

Love the Baby
Since I have purchased my Lensbaby composer, I pretty much leave it on all the time. It is a manual focus lens and takes some practice as try to figure out the sweet spot. The effects you get are really cool and I like how it adds depth and motion to my shots. You have to adjust your aperture through rings that you manually install, sounds crazy but it is really easy and I switch out apertures a lot.

Opens a whole new world of creativity
Takes a while to learn how to focus.

Fun with a Lensbaby
In an earlier tutorial I showed how to create a faux Lensbaby effect in Photoshop. But like many digital darkroom techniques, it can’t quite replace the real thing.

About Lensbaby Composer for Nikon F Mount SLR's
With the Composer, Lensbaby introduces a completely new lens, based on a ball and socket configuration that delivers smooth selective focus photography with unparalleled ease. The Composer retains its position after being bent and is easy to use even with one hand.
Photographers no longer have to squeeze the lens to focus, but can simply tilt the lens to a desired angle and then focus with a traditional barrel focusing ring. The Composer stays in the desired bent position without requiring a locking mechanism and features the new Lensbaby Optic Swap System.
The Composer features a unique manual focus design which requires more rotation to move the optic as you approach infinity. This makes it easier to focus on objects at intermediate and distant depths than regular manual focus lenses.
All Lensbaby lenses bring one area of a photo into sharpest focus with that Sweet Spot surrounded by gradually increasing blur. By bending the Lensbaby lens, the photographer moves the sharp area around the photo for customized creative effects.
