I don't yet own one of these Babies, but would like to soon.

Yep, I've just got one a baby2 but have yet to use it.
Will post an image or two from the first outing though....

I own a Lensbaby 2.'

Some examples of the photos I've taken with it are:

I like the Lensbaby a lot, although I need to force myself to put it on the camera from time to time and go shoot some photos.

I like those shots. Torn between getting a 2 or a 3. Maybe a 2 for starters.

If you can afford it then go for the Lensbaby 3. With the 2 it's impossible to redo an image or tweak the point of focus that little bit. Not buying the Lensbaby 3 is something I do regret.

I'll keep that in mind.

Meanwhile, I think 2's maybe available cheaper on eBay. Haven't looked lately though.

Definately get the 3G if you can. I haven't used mine a lot because it is more of a toy than a tool. It can be fun if you are feeling creative.

I have the Lensbaby 2. It comes with the Aperture rings!!!!

Not taken many with it, it is one of those fun things to have around that tends to stay in the bottom of the camera bag.

But having said that there are some people who use it to great effect - for fashion and landscape.

So little time, so many photos to take!
