I was playing with the LensBaby at our wedding on Saturday and came out with this:



I'm considering an actual T/S lens. Nikon has a number of them in varying focal lengths. The only real drawback about the Nikkors, though, is that they're almost as expensive as our "workhorse" lenses (the three f/2.8 zooms).

My big gripe about the lensbaby was the difficulty in focusing it. I also don't like having to carry around a little magnet and a set of aperture rings in my pocket.
