I am not exactly over the moon with my attempts, but I have not had a lot of time to play with this thing. I am really looking forward to having a go on the weekend. Trying to find the sweet spot after bending the lens is pretty tough.

I like that first image. It looks to me like more of a personal creativity lens than for stock potential, or do you think there could be some stock potential as well?

Have not even considered stock yet. Just wanted to capture that old enthusiasm for art again.

I think you can do better think with ordinary photo without onanija in manual zoom with lenses in delay.
Take normal shoot and just select radial gradient in mask an after that define different radial blurr options from predefined debile filters in PS you will get the same even better result.

I often use a lensbaby on some shots, adding instant variety to the selects. I find by using live view at 10x and manual focus, with a mono or tripod, the focus on the images isn't completely off either.

I do believe it have a use in stock photography, although I'm yet to upload any lensbaby shots.
