A friend from work kindly let me his lensbaby to use with my Canon 400D. Though there hasn’t been any time for serious shooting, I did manage an small test this morning. I’ve been wanting to try one of these bellowed tilt lenses for a while, the most obvious way was buying directly from lensbaby.com. I’m glad to have a little time to play with one first. The usage is a little tricker than I expected, but part of this has been getting used to making the adjustments through a small viewfinder. There’s a lot to admire about the locking and adjusting design of the lens. Given a little more practice, a tripod and some time I’m pretty sure I can get what I want out of it. Time will tell.
