Nice little lens, surprisingly sharp considering how it's made. Kinda looks like some sort of vacuum cleaner attachment.
It's not really designed as a macro lens but that's how I've been using it, produces some interesting results.
Can be difficult to get the focus right.. it brings a new meaning to the term manual focus.. so that's the reason some of these look a bit soft.
Anyway here's some photos I've taken with it (of flowers
Thumbnails are clickable. All shots were iso 100-400. Fortunately the D2x can still meter (spot and centre weighted) with the Lensbaby, although it's not always that accurate (tends to underexpose by 0.5-1.5 stops), easy to fix with Nikon Capture.
No real post-processing as such, just a bit of exposure correction in Nikon Capture 4.3.1. Some of these could do with a crop I know
This one makes me feel sick
100% crop showing the detail the Lensbaby can produce
Back to using extension tubes on the 17-55dx
Black and white treatment of previous photo
Extension tubes again
