A nice addition for lovers of blur
I'm a huge Lensbaby fan. I've been using them with my Canon SLRs almost since they first came out, and have assembled a pretty extensive collection of them over the past few years. Yes, I am a lover of blur. It's one of those creative effects that you either love or don't (although I certainly will admit it can be overused with some horrible results). I've recently been playing around with Micro Four Thirds cameras and was thrilled to see that Lensbaby came out with a model specifically designed for the MFT format.Quick primer for those not familiar with a Lensbaby: it's a very simple device that allows you to tilt the focal plane of the lens to shift focus to any area of the frame and produce a smooth blur effect. It can be in a small or large part of your photo depending on which of the several aperture rings you choose from (all supplied with this Lensbaby) and how much tilt you apply.This particular version of the lens, called the "Composer" is part of...

A little gem
A wonderful little tool for the GH1 arsenal.It works - tho there is a very fine line in grip between being able to gently nudge the lens and have it flop around uncontrolled.Reasonably well made, a bit `plasticky' but should be tough enough.Handles the G lenses fine - the aperture being set by sliding the ring - better than some of the adaptor mounts found on ebay.I had hoped it would have a detent for centralised position. That way I could use it as a general adaptor for Nikon lenses on the GH1 even when I don't want any blurring effect. But sadly that isn't going to fly - there is no way of knowing that the thing is exactly centered.Works really well with the smaller prime lenses - gets a little unwieldy with some of the pro zooms and you have to trust the thing can cope with all that weight.It is a lot of fun and I find it easier to get what I want than the Composer - easier to control and setup - and using the Nikon...
