Product Description
Sure, the Muse looks and acts like the Original Lensbaby. But, like the Composer and the Control Freak, this little baby comes with Lensbaby's new Optic Swap System—offering artists an almost unlimited variety of looks and styles to capture their unique visions. All Lensbaby lenses bring one area of a photo into sharpest focus with that Sweet Spot surrounded by gradually increasing blur. Photographers focus the Muse by compressing the lens and move the sweet spot by bending the flexible lens tubing. The Plastic optic blurs and diffuses in a dreamy way that Holga- and Diana- camera lovers will especially appreciate.

 Love this new toy July 8, 2009

If you're really looking to expand your creative possibilities, look no further (except maybe to the Lensbaby Composer). For the money and the creativity you can't find a better item. These are one of a kind and pure fun. I also bought the single-glass optic to swap out and i do like that more than the plastic..however as Lensbaby is not selling one with a single-glass optic in it, I had to buy it seperately. But now I have the plastic one in this product and the extra single-glass to have fun with.

I bought the Muse with plastic optic. Very fun to use. Quick and easy to change aperture disks. I like the dreamy soft effect. I find it easier to use than I thought it would be. I will certainly purchase other optics.
I took a bunch of shots with my Nikon D80. At first I guessed exposure, then grabbed the light meter. I made a number of handheld shots and liked the results on the camera screen. When printed the shots looked sweet.
A well-made product I recommend.

This is a really fun lens but has a strong learning curve. You can't use zone plate optic because you can't really shoot long exposures with this lens. You have to manipulate the lens with your hands to focus and your hands must remain static. Otherwise, this is pretty awesome!

This lens is really fun, but takes a while to figure out how to get good pictures. Unless you have a separate light meter, you have to guess and check on the shutter setting by taking lots of pictures. That is the hardest part for me; the focusing is pretty intuitive. I love the dreamy feel that the plastic optic gives, but if you prefer a sharp 'sweet spot' go for the glass optic. Overall, a unique, relatively cheap lens to add to your collection.

Product was shipped quickly and received in a few days after ordering. Will take some time to master the technique of how to use it. Several people I know have this same product and are pleased with the results.
