Well, FWIW, don't let the brand name on the lens fool you. This ain't your father's LensBaby.
If you are into a certain kind of really soft focus portraiture that mimics early photography (Fox Talbot et al), this lens should make it easier to do. You won't have to smear Vaseline on a filter to get the results. What I found more interesting was that it was made available in Pentax K-mount from the get-go. Seems to me that for the past few years, there's been a dearth of desirable third party lenses for Pentax. That might be changing; like Ricoh may be finally reversing the brand's decline. If you want some real fun, consider how you might use the lens for stitched panoramas ... or stitched HDR panoramas! On 4/8/2015 10:59 AM, Igor PDML-StR wrote:
Charles, To me, your question was valid, and not confrontational at all. But on the other hand, I am a scientist, and I know some people find my way of asking questions - confrontational. Someone has noted that it is a reason why many scientists have problems in personal or social interaction: the way scientists ask questions, make comments, or argue about things is taken as personal attacks by some non-scientists. (While those would be considered as healthy discussions by scientists.)
