Lensbabies... anybody tried this?

Here is an interesting website. Just wondering if anyone here has tried this, especially with a lens adapter and a G series camera.

Why bother when you can achieve similar results in photoshop. Plus, in photoshop you can also go back to your original shot if you don't like the effect. Also, they look pretty cheap and flimsy... I certainly wouldn't bother with it.

The inventor is a professional photographer, and thats the best he can do?

4Walls ... it won't work with a G series camera. You have to use either a Nikon or Canon SLR.

It looks like something that will most likely be great fun ... for about a week or two.

I'd be hesitant about the dust bunnies you're most likely going to suck into your DSLR using that device. I also noted the absence of statements like 'real glass lenses' or else.

Best regards,
Andy

And, it's $96, plus an unspecified amount for shipping, to turn your camera into a digital Holga. If I wanted to do that I would use Photoshop--more options and more control.

Ok...so can someone fill me in on how I would create that effect in PS ?

Thanks!

I know a pro-photographer, and once I saw a lot of filters. He had filters for diffusing, warming, and all other kind of "photoshop-effects". So I asked why he did have all those when all could be done easily in photoshop. He said he had to use them occasionally when companies required to buy the negatives along with prints. Then they had to match..

I consider it somehow unlikely that those companies would be very interested in photos taken with lensbabies :lol:
