It is always big fun using the Lensbaby (any version of it) and I&#8217;ve never got bored using them. A friend once asked me why on earth would I bother using such a &#8216;troublesome&#8217; lens when I can easily get something that auto-focuses. Hmm &#8230; I couldn&#8217;t really find the right words to answer that question but I told him that he needs to have a feel of how Lensbaby lenses work and find out for himself. I passed him my Lensbaby 2.0 for a week and soon &#8230; he came nodding his head &#8230; telling me now he knows the fun of using one. This is a true story! Well &#8230; some will ask why not add the &#8216;effect&#8217; in Photoshop. Right? That&#8217;s just the same when someone asks why not use Photoshop to create the cross processing\/Lomo effects instead of using film.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fuzzyeyeballs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/taiwan-2012-lensbaby-set-1\/Taiwan_2012_LB_005.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Ermm &#8230; camwhoring.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fuzzyeyeballs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/taiwan-2012-lensbaby-set-1\/Taiwan_2012_LB_006.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fuzzyeyeballs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/taiwan-2012-lensbaby-set-1\/Taiwan_2012_LB_012.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fuzzyeyeballs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/taiwan-2012-lensbaby-set-1\/Taiwan_2012_LB_022.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"397\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Wifey just reminded me that we are leaving Taipei on Monday &#8230; and not on Sunday!
