Lensbaby

How sharp are the pics with the lensbaby? I realize that most of the photo will be soft but how sharp is the point of focus? Can you see sharp eyelashes on at least one eye?

Mark,

Here are three images that I have posted full rez for your enjoyment.

I had a hard time finding a recent photo that I took without the Sony 0.6x teleconverter so I am posting two horizontals with the wide angle conversion lens attached which changes the size of the sweet spot, making it smaller in my experience. I am also posting one vertical shot without the conversion lens, just the lensbaby.

Using a lensbaby is such a fluid thing that, while sharp is possible on both eyes it is not always repeatable. I love getting the unexpected with mine and I have learned how to get close to repeatable (shoot a lot real fast).

Have a beautiful day.

P.S. the vertical and the super close image of the boy were taken at f4, the boy in front of the flowers was taken at f5.6.

Craig,
Thanks for posting the photos, they are wonderful. I'm going to order a lensbaby today, even though I wish the sweet spot was a little sweeter.
Warm Regards, Mark
