Lensbaby 3G Review

Review Summary
Reader Score: 9.33 (out of 10)
Review (Summary): "When we reviewed the Lensbaby 2.0 selective focus lens last August, we had only one real complaint. "The problem is that, even when you do find focus, it's hard to hold it,' we whined. "There's no detent that locks in the lens position, so you have to freeze your grip.'

A couple of months later, the Lensbaby guys took care of that little issue with what can only be described as the Eighth Wonder of the Modern World. They, modestly, call it simply the Lensbaby 3G. ...

The artistic effect is compelling but it's really the visual direction the lens provides the viewer that creates the impact. You can point any lens to a subject of interest but with selective focus, you point your viewer's vision to it emphatically. ..."

Review (Summary): "... Like its DSLR counterparts, the medium format Gumby-like lens is small, lightweight and mounts on the camera instead of a standard lens. Its flexible bellows barrel bends, twists, can be compressed toward or extended away from the camera in order to achieve a "sweet spot" of focus, while throwing the rest of the image out of focus or into unusual distortions. ...

... Granted, the Lensbaby look isn't for everyone nor for every type of shoot. But we certainly see a strong future for this unique lens in product, portrait, wedding and, of course fine art photography. Add a few Lensbaby shots to your portfolio and see what happens. Who knows, maybe it will give you the extra edge the next time you're bidding on a job. ..."
