Skye wrote: I really just want it for my film camera! I work in the darkroom at my school and this lens would make the world of difference to my black and white photos! especially now with my Matric portfolio which I have to present in an exhibition. The theme is ordinary – extraordinary. I could capture this theme really well with this lens, I all ready have some ideas up my sleeve 🙂
Congratulations Skye! We hope you enjoy getting creative with your new Lensbaby!
Original Post: Hi all, it’s time for another great Orms giveaway! This month we have an awesome Lensbaby Spark to give to one lucky community member!
Head’s up: Our giveaway entry method has changed! Please see the “How To Enter” section for the new details.
If you’re unfamiliar with the Lensbaby range of lenses, all you need to know is that they are a lot of fun to shoot with, and the results aren’t like anything you can achieve with most ordinary lenses! With the Lensbaby Spark, you squeeze the lens closer to the camera to focus, and with the flexible bellows tube, you can shift the plane of focus, or “sweet spot” to anywhere in the frame by squeezing a little more on one side of the lens. Want to see more? View the two videos below.

It will add drama to my pics, creating emphasis and leading the eye to the sweet spot. Now I do all of that using software. Lensbaby is a ONE step process.
I think this will give my band photography a kick in the face and take it to another level the way I shoot and to my style and think this will work very good for me! For my style of shooting this will be great!
I’m not expecting a kens like this to dramtically change the way I shoot, but I think it would be an interesting experiment for outdoor close-ups.
