Hi, I'm just looking for a good prime lens that would give me the same/similar blurred edges like the lensbaby does, that would work for the HMC150 - preferably around $1 - $400, heh. Thanks.
 
Do you mean for a 35mm adapter? The lensbaby exists for nearly every lens mount, but it looks like you are meaning to go directly on the camera. As far as I know, no such lens exists.
 
Yeah, this would be my intro to different lenses basically. Not really sure how this one mounts, but I really like the look it brings... Lol, don't know what else to say. What would I need to use Lensbaby on my hmc150?
 
You would need a 35mm adapter system then a lensbaby and then your lens. That's gonna cost significantly more than 400. Though not advised but you could just align a 35mm adapter really shitty and then mount a lens and you get a similar focus result

Alright, so I found this lens in another topic, which seems to give a really nice shallow DOF. I would need a 30mm adapter? Could anyone recommend me one, cause there seems to be like a million of them.

There's no "right" answer. People swear by different brands. I prefer the letus (elite or ultimate), but have seen amazing stuff shot with the other big boys (SG Pro blade, Redrock, etc).

The problem is, an adapter is a serious investment...and to be honest, I don't think they are going to be around much longer. The advent of the HDSLR will render the heavy adapter rig a dinosaur in the future. So, I would consider the investment in such a device very carefully...
