What the Manufacturer Says:

Lensbabies are the hybrid love children of an old-fashioned bellows camera and an up-tight tilt-shift lens. 

Focus your Lensbaby by moving the focusing collar in and out with your fingertips. Move the "sweet spot" of focus around the picture by bending the lens left, right, up, & down, like a fluid tilt-shift lens."

What Kirk's Say:

These things are really strange, but in a good way. Focusing is done by compressing or stretching the plastic tubing. Moving the sweet spot of focus around is done by bending the tube.

The strangest bit however, is changing the aperture discs. If you want to shoot at an aperture of less than 2.0 you simply drop in one of the supplied aperture discs. Three magnets then hold the disc in place. But how do you get it out? Simple. You dig it out with the supplied tool. Once you do it a few times it's pretty quick.

These lenses are amazing fun. They help us forget our obsessions over whether the $4000 lens is 3% sharper than the $2500 lens, and reminds us to concentrate on skills such as composition.

Some people worry that the effort of holding the lens at the proper focusing point will tire them out. From our experience the part of your body most likely to get tired because of a Lensbaby is your mouth from smiling all the time.

Put some fun back in your photography. Drop into Kirk's for a demo.
