So look what turned up in the post yesterday..

yeah baby.. bend it!! Its the lensbaby 2.0, the worlds only Bend-able Finger Tip Selective Focus SLR Lens!

I really didn’t know what to expect from the lensbaby when I brought it.. Its certainly different, unique, quirky, odd-ball and above all, fun!!

Its also absolutely nothing like any lens out there.. No auto-focus or digital balancing with this one.. this is 100% finger tip control (literally!)

When I read the instructions it sounded really hard to handle, but once you understand where to put your fingers (so to speak!) its amazingly simple to use.. The only thing I’m really sure of at the moment is that there is a huge amount of playing and experimentation needed to get the best out of it.. I took about 50-60 shots with it last night and liked maybe about 5, I did find, at the moment at least, using the lensbaby in unbent mode, didn’t really create interesting photos. Easing the lens to the side and twisting it created some wild and freaky shots.

I’ll definitely be playing with this more over the next few days and seeing what I can get out of it, if nothing else its a fun little toy..

Expect some baby-bended photos soon..
