Lensbabies: Lenses Like Babies

@johnbiggs / 3:02 pm PST • January 10, 2007

Every once in a while we get lucky enough to see an actually cool product. This is the Lensbaby, an odd lens that allows you to create selective focus images, meaning you can “sharpen up” on spot on a scene leave the rest in sporty blur. This would have been great for taking action shots on the floor, but we didn’t get a chance to try it on our gear.

The basic model costs about $270 and fits on almost any DSLR including devices by Canon, Olympus, and even Leica.
