Still haven't given up on this one yet, even though I did just put it away for a while... so I wanted to post the rest of my plastic keepers!!
Notice the second to last shot I got a bit daring and added the 8mm macro converter... I do prefer getting up close to my subject and I think this is the combination I will continue to play with!

Hope you enjoy!

Wow, Angela! It looks like you've mastered another optic. These shots are awesome for sure. I love them all, so dreamy and creamy. My favorite is the shot with the macro converter. It's almost abstract and the glow is beautiful. Are there water droplets on the plant? It's tough for me to tell. So yummy!!

Jane, I so appreciate your wonderful compliments.... I haven't given up on this optic yet, just taking a rest from it... can't neglect the other babies!!
I'm starting to really like this optic much better, especially when using the macro converter.. I think any lensbaby shot, IMO, works better up close.
Thanks again and keep clicking and trying new things!!!

If you're feeling a little frustrated with the plastic optic, we'd never know it. These are all stunning shots! Can't pick a favorite 'cuz I love them all. The one with the 8mm converter is outstanding!!!

Cathy, I do love it, but it's picky on what "it" likes to shoot!! But I do like using it much better with the 8mm macro converter, in fact, I like all the optic better with the converter... it brings things in to where I like it!!
Thank you so much for your very kind compliment and thumbs and glad to hear you enjoyed them!!

Angela, saw your post in close-ups and still want to thank you for showing the results to help me make a decision on what to buy for myself.

Angela, yes I am doing my research. The link that Cathy included in her post along with this forum. I still have time before I can buy a Lensbaby even more so since I have spent 10k in the last 4 weeks. That just about tapped out my rainy day fund and I need to build it up before I buy another lens.

Angela, bought new yard tractor/mower ($1100), Hospital ($500), Septic pump out ($250), and HVAC ($7500). It adds up pretty quick and I am glad that I had the rainy day fund up to it. First time I actually listed all that was not in our budget. I am glad that I do manage our retirement income to still have this flexibility.
