lens baby

[paigegreen916]

has any one ever tried lensbabies? i have a Sony A200, has anyone tried them with this camer? does it do anything to an image you couldn't do with photoshop? is it beginner friendly, or do you really have to know your equipment? a lot of questions, i know. thanks everyone!

can't help you with your particular camera but I do have one and it's a fun lens to play with. the key to success with it is to practice, practice, practice and practice first with static subjects. There is a photoshop plug in (can't remember the name of it right now) that does something similar but not exactly. The result is not as good as using an actual lensbaby and really, why spend more time in front of the computer trying to create a look that you can do with the lens?
read the lensbaby website, it has a lot of information http://lensbabies.com/index.php
