The whole point is to have impressionists like photo's...wondering if anybody has heard anything about it, or better yet who has one and if you like it or not???

But, some of the photos i've seen with it are incredible.. atleast in my opinion. wondering if it's as tricky to use as it seems to be, I was playing with it in the camera store for about twenty minutes and was completely clueless. but for 130 bucks it could be a lot of fun for macro like shots. Anyway, my curiosity was completely piqued... Sari. Canon 30D BG_E2 Grip Rebel XT BG-E3 battery grip

I've seen shots taken with them and, while they're not something I'd leave on my camera all the time, I could see having one for an occasional shot, just for the "fun" factor. Steve

Plus, they're not all too expensive, either... Steve I was thinking that instead of getting a macro lens, I could get one of these. I don't shoot macro often, but occasionally I do like it and since my pro 1 is no more my plan for using it for macro is gone. So, it's between the lensbaby, or a macro. I think I could have some fun with this I just want to know if it's practical, wrong word, not practical but if I can manipulate it to do what I want, how big is the learning curve I guess.... sari.
