It's very much in the same category as a fisheye, a specialty lens to be used in certain situations to get certain photographic looks. Not all photographs need to be tack-sharp to be considered good work. If the photographer is looking for a special look/effect and this lens can help get that, then that is all that counts.

No, you can't fake the light at the time of shooting. It will look close but fake. My collection of boxes with holes

Jason C do I need to submit a resume...? More info | I got my LB 2.0 last week, and I've been using it a lot. The LB has really got me thinking about composition, and when and how to utilize the LB to it's fullest potential.

I tried one out and found it extremely hard to use. Getting a good shot out of these lenses requires considerable skill. (Compare that to the 100L Macro I tested as well, my first shot with it was actually good enough for me to post into the archive.)

I really enjoy using this lens, and even when it's not mounted I'm thinking to myself "would this shot benefit from selective focus..." LB 2.0 @ f/2

I'd much rather have a real select focus lens that isn't crap even if they are $1000. There's my opinion. ![]() Your opinion clearly falls into the old idiom, "opinions are like ass holes, everyone has one and they all stink". Alan "NuReality" Fronshtein
