Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Lensbaby The Composer for Nikon F mount Digital SLR Cameras
Customer Review: Stoke those creative juices...
Summary: 5 Stars
The Lensbaby is different than just about anything out there - but in a good way. For one thing, it's retro - no electronics, purely mechanical focus - even changing aperture is a bit of an involved process. But for me, it works...forces me to think about what I'm doing, composing and focusing a little more carefully. Sure, putting the camera on "auto-pilot" has a place, but sometimes it's nice to do it the old fashioned way.
The Composer is easier to use than many of the other Lensbaby products. It just pivots to let you put the soft focus area where you want, and then it has a conventional manual focus ring. Some cameras (including my Nikon D300 and D3) can use aperture-priority mode, or you can go full manual as you see fit.
Don't overlook some of the attachments, including the macro lens and special effects attachments. I find that close-ups are especially cool through the Lensbaby.
As for the results, the usual measures of sharpness and optical precision aren't really very useful, so it's more about the creative results you get. I notice the effect is much more pronounced on the FX camera, which can be good or bad, depending on what you're after. But for some reason, with the right subject matter, I've been really happy with the outcomes no matter what I do.
Highly recommended for the price.
