Very cool, I was consiering one as well! I wouldn't use a tilt-shift enough but these are affordable and seem fun. How do you like it? I cant find one in person to see, how does the build quality feel?

The lensbaby is absolutely wonderful. The build quality is very solid and it works very well. And it's such a fun lens, basically limited ONLY by your creativity.
Now, I DO recommend getting the accessories for the lens as soon as possible. They sell a kit that includes a 0.6X Wide Angle Conversion Lens and a 1.6X Telephoto Conversion Lens. These attach to the front of the lensbaby and change the zoom level. And then they sell a macro kit that includes +4 and +10 diopter lenses that also screw to the front of the lensbaby and change the focal distance of the camera.
The macro kit ESPECIALLY is crucial for a reefkeeper. However, you'll want them both eventually. ALSO, if you order, go directly through their site. I had SO MUCH TROUBLE trying to get this from amazon, who I usually love. Or perhaps your LCS (Local Camera Store?  ) would be a good choice as well....

Thanks for the great info! I havnt' looked at them other than a glance and a smile, but I have been kicking the idea around in the back of my head :-) Did you get the new one, the 3G, or the 2.0 or original?
