Anybody ever heard of this lens? It looks pretty fun to use and is pretty inexpensive. I'm curious if anybody has any feedback on it.

I've heard of it and I wanted to get one, I just never did. It does make for a really cool effect though.

I looked at the older ones, but they never interested me. It looks like they have made some good improvements since I last saw them.

Whats the effect maybe i can't see it in such small pictures. Is it just depth of field?

some examples i found... its very selective focus that does not follow the general rule that focus falls off the farther before and behind your focal point. makes for some interesting effects, but i have never used one and dont think i'd really be able to make good use of it for what i do.

But it looks like itd be easier and more cost-efficient to just do it in P.S.
