Dreamy
This is my first Lensbaby Lens and I’m certain it will not be my last. I’m in love with this lens! I purchased the Velvet 56 for my Nikon D850 but I am so excited now to be using it next week with film on my F2 and F4. The digital results were dreamy and ethereal; some subjects took on a celestial or even ghostly mood…just exquisite! I’m not going to say I’m an expert in Photoshop, but I’m no novice either and the results I’m getting with this lens is so much more rewarding, to me, to have shot these images IN CAMERA!

Velvet
I wish that it was a tad sharper and relayed more info to the camera for the price. Overall, I really enjoy using this lens.
