Maybe I went a little over board with this Lensbaby thing?
I picked up a couple of cases and the accessory kit (macro / wide angle) from Henry's of Toronto on a 'too-good-to-pass-up' sale. And I bought five optics (a pinhole, plastic, single, double and 12mm fisheye) directly from the Lensbaby factory in the USA - they were having a fabulous Feb refurbished clearance - I helped them clear out a few pieces eh?
The Composer Pro with Edge 80 optic I had picked up used from The Camera Store in Calgary a few weeks ago.
This weekends fun will be learning the joy of swapping optics and unleashing my hidden creative side.
I would be very interested in your thoughts on this kit. The lens baby gear has always been an interest with me.
Is the bubble level UNDER the quick release plate?!?
. If so, that totally defeats the purpose to me of the level. Maybe it's just me, but that's what it looks like!Nikon D750, Nikon D800, Nikon 16-35 f/4, Nikon 50mm 1.8, Nikon 70-300
Sigma 24-70 f/2.8, Sigma 105mm f2.8
Sigma 150-600 C
Tamron 70-200 f/2.8 Di VC USD
That's what I thought.....I'm not sure that would be too great. Maybe he will let us know!

Having fun with this new funky gizmo. It is going to take some time to get the hang of "seeing things differently" and after so much focus on sharpness in the digital photography world learning to "embrace the blur" is a mind altering mental shift needed when playing with this tilty lenses - especially some of the special effect lenses like the zone-plate lens.
I'm posting results of my efforts on a thread here at Nikonites: https://nikonites.com/general-lenses/38848-its-lens-baby-lets-see-some-lensbaby-creativity.html
If you want to see what's happening in one on-line Lensbaby community check out there Facebook page called "Lensbaby Artistry".

Nice! That lens is in the top two of my "what was I thinking when I sold that?" list.

Camera bag - as in singular - who has one camera bag? What you need is another bag, or two or three or ...
When I was looking at getting a 70-200 I considered the 80-200 option and looked at a few of them. Lots of commentators said it was 'built like a tank' and would last forever... in the end found a great deal on a 70-200 V1 so never did find out how good this golden oldie really is - let us know what you think of the it.

So far I like it!
Nice! When I bought my 70-200, I picked up a Think Tank Citywalker 20. It's an excellent carry bag.

It looks like it is no longer available
Urban Disguise or Urban Approach may be replacements? Haven't seen one in person.
