Digital camera reviews of Lensbaby The Composer for Nikon F mount Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: Dig it.
Summary: 4 Stars
I'd had my eye on one of these for a while, and finally made the plunge. For the most part, I'm very pleased with it. It definitely helps get the creative juices flowing, helping you to see things in a new way. My only disappointment (and I'd known this was coming) is that I've got a cropped- frame camera (Nikon D80) so what would normally be about 50mm comes to somewhere around 75mm. In other words, the focal range is painfully limited, making their wide-angle adapter lens almost an inevitable purchase. (however, I've heard their wide-angle isn't that wide and that the Chromatic Aberration on Lens Baby's ultra-wide angle is terrible. Hmmmmm, so do I want to bother?) Also, the Aperture rings that you have to be some-what-constantly switching are kind of of a nuisance, especially if you're into night photography. (Easily dropped and/or lost.) Ultimately, it would be great if Lens Baby eventually makes a version with f-stops built in, like a regular lens.
However, this isn't a top-of-the-line lens, and they don't claim it to be, so they're able to keep the price reasonable. (it's basically the poor-man's tilt/shift.)
Long-story-short: this is a fun and creative tool to have in your lens arsenal, as long as you're aware of, and willing to put up with it's limitations. All complaints aside, I'm glad I bought it.
