Lensbaby Scout

     Earlier this month, I beta tested the newest gem in the Lensbaby collection, the Scout. Scout is Lensbaby's first non-bending lens, and comes with the Fisheye optic installed. Because the lens doesn't bend like traditional Lensbaby lenses, fisheye images are always perfectly centered. The lens can focus as closely as 1/2 inch away from subjects,  and has a very smooth focus collar. It works with Lensbaby's unique optic swap system, so you can change optics for different effects. I love testing new products, and this lens was no exception. It's fun, easy to use, and a great addition to the Lensbaby lineup.

    Here are some of my test images, these were at f/4, which is wide open on the Scout, no aperture ring.




    These were all shot at f/16 for greater Depth of Field:





Happy Shooting!

    These are all beautiful, they look like they are taken through a crystal ball. I'm still having such a hard time getting anything in focus with my lensbaby. But I am not giving up yet !

    Thanks, Ladies! :)

    Betty, the more you use your Lensbaby, the easier the focusing gets, I promise! Let me know if I can help.
