Lensbabies are the hybrid love children of an old-fashioned bellows camera and an up-tight tilt-shift lens. Focus your Lensbaby by moving the focusing collar in and out with your fingertips. Move the "sweet spot" of focus around the picture by bending the lens left, right, up, & down, like a fluid tilt-shift lens. Most photographers are getting rewarding shots after a short practice period.
The Lensbaby arrives with an f4.0 aperture disk installed, but in seconds you can switch to one of three additional settings.
f2.8 achives a difused, almost impressionistic look.
f4 is sharper that the f2.8, but still slightly diffused
f5.6 is a very versatile aperture in a Lensbaby
f8 has a sharper look, but still gives soft edges.
