Lensbabies with a 35mm adapter?

[Jon Neely]

Hello all, I was wondering if anyone has tried this set up, because it would be quite coll to see some footage, If not, I think I will try one out on the SGpro unit when I get it in next month. I have used my friends Lensbabie on my canon, but I have yet to hear anyone use it on a 35mm adapter.

thanks,

Jon

it's fine but not really sharp enough. I use shift tilt lenses to superb effect

look at the second short called Lost Times, I used my Hartblei 85mm and 65mm a lot in them

That's cool. I wonder why they didn't go with a 3.0 so they didn't have to hold it.

I tried the Lensbaby 3 and found it wasn't as sharp as I would like and more importantly the sweet spot where it was sharp was too small a part of the picture for my taste ( at least at wide apertures). Perhaps though with the new flip adapters that allow you to zoom in on the image, the sweet spot could be made larger by zooming in.
