I've never used one but they look fun. I guess you can now achieve the same in photoshop but I'd still like to have a go.

LOL you may be able to achieve that in Photo shop
not sure I could do such a good job.
They really do look fun, and I expect you have to practise for awhile to get it right,but they do look good. I have been looking at their website, and the gallery pics are great, they make really fun, funky portraits too. Be brilliant on flowers too.
I think I may add one to my ever growing wish list.

This a lens babies...
They are a lens that has a "sweet spot" so one part of the image is really sharp and the rest is soft focus and you can manipulate the direction of the lens. So you can then do amazing funky portraits, , and other stuff.
They are not too expensive either....
I would like the lensbaby 2.0, and it comes in four thirds

Have a look at the gallery pics, i think it is something you love or hate

Oh my God. I am loving the lens baby look.
My clients will love it I am sure I could do a whole portfolio just on this look I am EXCITED NOW.
Will go and look at the prices when you say the lens is not expensive I hope you mean 'jols cheap' ha ha
will report back results
[some of these at weddings would look great]
