Lensbaby Lenses

This week I explored the website for lensbaby lenses. These lenses have creative capabilities and tend to be built for one or two purposes or effects not necessarily for all shooting. 
The lenses are quite affordable especially if you want to take creative shots and don't necessarily want to spend a ton of money on lenses that you will not use more than a couple of times a year. I enjoy the soft focus optic, the double glass optic, and the 35 mm optic. All of these lenses are under $200 and provide some very cool effects. Yes you may be able to get the same effects by editing and through photoshop but why not take the picture the way you want it in the first place? 
In addition to having all of the lenses on the website there are also videos that explain some of the lenses, how to use them as well as some tutorials of Lensbaby users. Below is a link to a portrait photographer that enjoys the use of Lensbaby lenses. 

I encourage you to go and check out the various lenses and effects. There are also some pretty sweet galleries to check out that have some great pictures.
