Henrys: Lensbaby 2.0 for Sony, Olympus, Pentax DSLRs - $79 HOT

[tallshorty111]

Great price for the Lensbaby 2.0...although no Canon or Nikon versions. Regular price is $149.

I think they are probably clearing these out. This is the cheapest I've seen these at. I just bought a used Canon one today for $60 and these are fun to play with.

it's a novelty lens meant to give a 'lomo' effect. it's essentially a cheap tilt-shift lens.

I updated my first post with reviews. Check it out.

It is not a tilt-shift lens and should not be used as such. You would be sourly dissappointed if you do.

Thanks for posting this! I pulled the trigger on one for my A200, and I'm definitely looking forward to playing around with it. Got to be kind of expensive with shipping, but I think it's still a good deal.

noob thought:

looks like you could do most of that stuff in post

[Trippytiger]

Probably, but there's much more appeal to me to get those kind of effects with the camera and the optics. I find actual photography much more interesting than fiddling around in an image editor - that's just not for me.

I'd love to get a LOMO LC-A one day, because I love the shots people take with those cameras, but in the meantime a Lensbaby is cheaper and more convenient!

They had it for the same price back in November last year when I posted this:

If you look through the thread there is a link on how to achieve the same effect in photoshop. I think for regular retail price on this item I would much rather spend that on a "real" lens but for $79 it's a neat toy to have.

ouch ! it was 70 + free shipping in november? i missed that... now i pay 20$ more... bah :)

I don't use photoshop, only Lighroom, and it will be funny to use the lens OUTSIDE, instead of doing this in photoshop inside the house :)

No, the price was $70 off the regular price of $149.99 with free shipping. Just happened at the time henry's was offering free shipping in Canada on orders over $50.

I bought this back in November and have had a blast with it. Really renewed my interest in photography and helped me work in manual.
