I got myself a lensbaby double glass lens this week. I took some shots yesterday with it:
I really enjoy my new lens, it opens so much new possibilities in focusing.
I would like to see some of your shots and would like to know which optics you use.

A lensbaby is a lens that you can bend.
From wikipedia:
The focus front standard can be manipulated off axis to move the sharpest area of Focus (called the "sweet spot") to almost anywhere in the frame. This allows the important part of the subject to be rendered fairly sharp with everything else out of focus, even if it is the same distance from the camera. The Lensbaby naturally focuses at approximately 2 feet; closer focus is achieved by pushing the front of the lens out, and infinity focus is achieved by pulling the front of the lens toward the base of the lens. There is extreme spherical and some chromatic aberration outside the central "sweet spot". Lensbaby lenses have no electronic components, disabling auto-focus when mounted on modern cameras. The use of auto-focus is further undermined by the spherical aberration in the lens. In most cases Lensbaby lenses require aperture priority or fully manual mode. The Lensbaby can also be used for infrared photography, but does not include an index mark for infrared photography.

And I've also used it for some macro
or close-up shots:

You can see more if you put lensbabyjb in the search box and go to photos.

Still getting the hang of the lens.
I've got both the 3G (later know as 'Control Freak') and Composer, as well as a range of optics. Needless to say, I love this equipment. ;-)
