Lensbaby Two Point Oh Dear!

octothorpeSo my friend Michael went out and got a Lensbaby 2.0, and he brought it to our friend Liz' art show in Norwalk last week-end. We both have Canon 20Ds, so we swapped lenses for awhile. He had my 28mm f1.8, and I got to play with the lensbaby.
It's a *very* strange lens. It's a concave lens with flexible rubber tubing allowing you to do some really odd stuff. It's not as sharp, nor fast as the lenses I am used to, and having to hold your hand steady to focus is a pain, but *wow* what a lot of fun! There is a lensbaby 3.0 that actually has a position lock, allowing you to get repeatable results. It's kinda like if Holgas had flexbodies.
Check it out! Note there are 2 pages.
The art show itself was lovely. I've known her work for some time, as she's part of the House of Love, what can only be described as an art commune, about 2 miles away from where I live. I hope she takes her stuff to NYC, as I think she'd get a better reception.
