I'm new to this forum, although I've been a fan of the lensbaby for a couple of years now.

I changed my optic whilst on a shoot the other day and perhaps didn't pay enough attention to what I was doing - the optic I added is now stuck!

After searching the archive on here I see this is likely to my inserting the optic incorrectly - and that there is a file that might be useful to me releasing the optic.

I'd be grateful if anyone could advise...

Regards,

Can you show us a video/demo of how Lensbaby may be useful of Nikon d5100 enthusiasts? Keeping in mind it can/may apply for other Nikon models as well.

Thank you!]]> WeForNikonD5100 General Discussion Sun, 05 May 2013 12:32:00 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,165469,165469#msg-165469 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,165469,165469#msg-165469 This was the best result I could get, with the f5,6 disc.

Since they came with a Double glass element and a Macro lens
I hacked the DG element off on my lathe so I could use the macro element as the prime lens screwed into the hacked DG focus tube. See the illustration of parts photo.

I'm having fun making creative apertures to snap specular highlight abstract aRt, besides the macro botanical studies of Spring weeds :) .

I was able to get these Focus Front at a great price, but the ebay vendor decided to raise his price after I purchased so many ....but they are still a fabulous tool so if you want one check them out before they disappear off ebay .

NO...I'm not selling "any" of the three I purchased...the ebay vendor
lists them one at a time, so you have to watch and bid accordingly ....I'm just letting you know these discontinued parts exist and they are so KooL !]]> ranfoto General Discussion Mon, 13 May 2013 17:14:38 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,165446,165446#msg-165446 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,165446,165446#msg-165446 I am here in Portland OR, can someone help me?]]> henrysphotomom General Discussion Tue, 30 Apr 2013 15:11:32 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,165444,165444#msg-165444 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,165444,165444#msg-165444 Kirsten General Discussion Sat, 18 May 2013 04:43:12 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,165441,165441#msg-165441 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,165441,165441#msg-165441
And Ive seen the G+ Hangout. Stupid background, very nice questions and even better answers. And both told us in the Hangout is that you get what you ask, basicly. So, I want to ask something:

- Can I please have some sort of markin on the ball of the Composer Pro so I can see when its in the fully straight forward posistion??
- Would it be possible to make one standard cap that can fitt all the optics?
- Would it be possible to get a cap that fits the back side of the optic, the part that goes in to the body?

Love to hear from you!]]> beyond_Life General Discussion Wed, 24 Apr 2013 09:27:50 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,165420,165420#msg-165420 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,165420,165420#msg-165420 Kirsten General Discussion Wed, 24 Apr 2013 13:03:07 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,165413,165413#msg-165413 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,165413,165413#msg-165413

I am new to lensbaby and am about to get my hands on a used lensbaby 3G. I gathered from online searching that the optics in 3G cannot be replaced. I am wondering what accessories that are currently available will be compatible with 3G?

I am wondering what effect using the double glass to focus high up on a spot on a building would have as far as adding or removing keystone effect?

I know it can be removed in PS so it is not a issue ,just a question prior to purchase.

The other option that might be interesting I think would be the edge 80 , if I rotate to get the edge line to run vertically up the frame? How bad a keystone effect would that cause?]]> adwb General Discussion Mon, 15 Apr 2013 06:53:37 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,165343,165343#msg-165343 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,165343,165343#msg-165343

Im ready to get some babys. Hell yes I am. In two weeks ill reach the "yes I got the money" point and will go to the local store. And Im pretty sure about what to get. I was thinking about the Composer Pro, the double glass and fishey optic. But I was wondering, how does one put the composer pro in the perfect straigh position for the fishey optic? Is it just by eye or is there a clever way to do it?

And if there is no clever way, how about some lining on the ball, so you can see if the composer pro is completely straight?

Best,

Robert.]]> beyond_Life General Discussion Fri, 29 Mar 2013 15:58:52 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,165250,165250#msg-165250 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,165250,165250#msg-165250 Mamaoval General Discussion Wed, 27 Mar 2013 07:54:58 -0700 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,165171,165171#msg-165171 http://lensbaby.com/forum/read.php?1,165171,165171#msg-165171 I've been using a Holga fisheye on my Canon 350d & have just odered a Lensbaby fisheye.
