Lensbaby
Lensbaby is a whole system of lenses to add creativity to your photography, and at the moment I’ve got a Lensbaby Composer, so I’ll be sharing my experiences as I learn more about these fascinating photographic tools.
What all of the Lensbaby products have in common is that they’re selective focus. The lens is sharp in the middle, but then you can move that sweet spot around the frame. The blurred area is hard to describe, it’s a mix of depth-of-field, out-of-focus blur, and almost a zoom-like blur. I’ll just say that it looks great!

Hi Rob,
Having just replaced my Lensbaby2 with the new Composer and all I can say WOW! Composer is such a cool new tool for my bag. Living in Portland Oregon the home of Lensbaby has it’s advantages as so many photographers here use a Lensbaby. Your video’s on using the Lensbaby are very helpful for the person getting to know this lens.
I hope you won’t if I put reference to your website on my blog.
John
