I just don't get the Lensbaby. Sure, it's cool and can do nifty things to your images. I get that.
The results I've seen with it look like effects that can be fairly easily accomplished in post-processing. I don't see why I'd want to limit my original image to something I can do in post-processing. Ditto with shooting in B&W as that's something I do in the lab ... er, on the computer.
More power to those folks who get the Lensbaby and can do cool things with it. Perhaps if I was a better at snapping pics and better able to visualize the finished image before shooting.
But ... back to the topic. My least used accessory has been my circular polarizer. I know they're cool but I just haven't been able to incorporate it into my shooting.
