Anyone out there using one of these on a digital camera? I'm using a Nikon D2x, b.t.w. I've been thinking of getting one, just for the heck of it. Have a bit of fun doing crazy stuff and maybe get the creative juices flowing again....

yeah, I JUST used mine this last week to turn in a few alternate versions of a cover portrait for a pub I shoot for. I forget if they used the normal 50mm shot or the lens baby shot, but now you've got my interest peeked.
Honestly, I don't use it much, but for the price, it is a fun little bonus lens to have on hand. I use it on my canon 5d. I don't think it is as cool as using a pinhole lens, but it is still fun at times...

I have been wanting to try a lensbaby, too. If anybody has one with a Nikon mount sitting around that they would like to part with, please let me know!
So I went ahead and got the 3G. So far without any accessories. The 3G was the only one I could get here, don't know if it's any better or worse than the 2.0. It looks funky, though.... But it seems to be meant to be used on a tripod, so I'm off to the studio to try it out under more controlled conditions.
And Bill: Get your own! We ain't sharing...

I have bought them all... the 3g just last month. For handheld, I found the ver 2.0 more easy to work. Though as stated above the 3g will probably rock on a tripod.

what I mean is I manage to justify to myself the purchase of each of the Lensbabies. I shudder to think what they will come with next, I'll probably buy it.

You Canadians are so serious.... I was just kidding!
Which one do you like best?
Still haven't had the time to try out mine. Every time I want to do something for myself, some client calls with an urgent project. Which -in a way - is a good thing.
